Florence by night
The downtown is as busy at night as it is in the day time. This is a long weekend in Italy and we have the impression that many of the tourists are Italians from other parts of the country who are here for the weekend. There are many families out late in the evening with children in tow. Children are involved, even at night. There is a merry-go-round near the Duomo.
The Christmas lights are different on each street
A bit to the right, under the flags, you can see a copy of Michelangelo's David who does not seem to mind the cold (it was about +5C) when the picture was taken.
The all illuminated building below houses very upscale stores. If I remember well, on the left is Gucchi and on the right Armani. The picture does not do these lights justice as it does not show the constant shimmering.
To end with, nativity scenes in a pastry shop.
