Italy: Rome lights up at Christmas with Nativity paintings

Rome: Rome will illuminate the city hall building at Palazzo Senatorio with a light show of Roman Renaissance drawings over the Christmas period.

Titled Nascimento. Ispirazione Romana, the project will see city hall lit up with Renaissance images of a city model “based on the concepts of harmony, symmetry and proportion.”

In addition two landmark buildings in Piazza Navona – Palazzo Braschi and Palazzo Pamphilj – will be illuminated at night with images of the Nativity, as part of the AmoR, che move project.

The light shows can be enjoyed each night from Christmas Eve until 6 January.
