Since 25 November, the Green Pearl has been illuminated by stalactites in the central areas and each district has its own dedicated tree. From the pines in Viale Ceccarini, long pendants and spotlights - with low energy consumption - shine and change colour, making the promenade atmospheric. Completing the overall design is the piped music: at scheduled times, it makes the tree tops shine in time to the music. Christmas chandeliers also on the ice rink.
Date: until 6 January
Place: piazzale Roma
Hours: at weekends
