What a gem of a town..will have to seek it out. How special were these bonfires..the construction alone is a work of art. Wonderful that you found this. Thanx for sharing this special event. Happy New Year
Glad you enjoyed it. I wonder how far it is for you, from Umbria, to get there?
Auguri!
Felt like I was right there with you. You should have a TV show!
Sounds good Becca! I’m game!
Great stuff Chandi. It looks so nice.
We’re about to order a magic carpet to whisk us out there!.
Tanti auguri

Cheers Julian!
Most definitely magical! The Europeans really know how to do it!! Keeping those old world customs going is so appealing and important.
Yes, it felt very “old world”!
