Buon Natale and Happy Holidays from Destination Italia!
In Italy, the pre-Christmas season always brings with it an air of magic and celebration, thanks to the many traditions rooted in our culture. Among these is certainly December 13, the day of Santa Lucia. Her feast is celebrated in many other Italian cities, but what are the traditions related to the Saint? Let's find out, from North to South.
✨ In the Northeast, particularly from Brescia to Venice, from Udine to Verona, Santa Lucia is a giver of gifts to children, anticipating the magic of Christmas: she doesn't arrive by sleigh, but rather on the back of a donkey.
✨ In Bologna, during the traditional Santa Lucia Fair, the portico of the Chiesa dei Servi comes alive with stalls offering visitors cribs, Christmas decorations, sweets and gifts.
✨ In Sicily, especially in Syracuse, where the saint was born, a long procession is celebrated to thank her for bringing the city out of a terrible famine. During the celebrations, which last an entire week, a typical sweet, Cuccìa, made from wheat, is prepared.
Add a little magic ✨ to your clients' Italian vacations and book with us on https://hubs.ly/Q02cCbWf0

Today we are going to discover the fascinating architectural complex immersed in the lush Umbrian countryside, La Scarzuola, testimony to both medieval sacredness and surrealist imagination 🏰
Initially founded by Saint Francis of Assisi in 1218, the Scarzuola we explore today is an enchanting blend of surrealism and creativity imagined by Tomaso Buzzi.
He designed and built his "Ideal City," featuring seven theaters, culminating in the Acropolis: a mountainous edifice of archetypes that reveals myriad perspectives within its hollow interiors and numerous compartments.
This artistic arrangement translates into a surreal, labyrinthine, evocative and enchanting whole, where visitors can admire the extraordinary variety of architecture and symbols that adorn the complex.
Plan a visit with Destination Italia and let your customers be transported to this realm of wonder.
