“Christmas waves a magic wand over this world
and behold, everything is softer and more beautiful.” Norman V. Peale

Christmas in Rome is unlike anything I have seen. Truly, it’s as if pages from an old-time Christmas story have been fully replicated and placed along the cobblestone roads of this enchanting city. Lanterns and golden strings of lights line Piazza di Spagna as chestnuts roast on every corner. And when the evening begins to bring a chill, Romans escape the cold by ducking into a classic, warm cafe for hot chocolate. I’ve always said how incredibly beautiful Rome is at nighttime, but the Ancient Ruins of Rome seem to come alive, and with the glow of the moon, Christmas in Rome feels victorian, classic - and for all the Christmas’ I have seen, it’s the gentlest and most beautiful when in Rome.
