Christmas: Rome embraces festive spirit ahead of jubilee year celebrations | N18G

Drone footage recently captured Rome’s festive transformation, showcasing the city’s eco-friendly approach during the Christmas season in anticipation of the Jubilee Year, which begins on Christmas Eve. One of the highlights is Via del Corso, adorned with a two-kilometer canopy of low-energy lights, featuring 49 water drop motifs symbolizing the importance of water and glowing globes representing global unity. These decorations align with the Jubilee's themes of hope and togetherness. In addition to the main historic center, suburban neighborhoods also glow with illuminated projections, spreading festive cheer throughout all districts. Rome is preparing for an influx of approximately 32 million tourists for the Jubilee, a significant event held once every 25 years. This year’s celebrations not only reflect the city’s rich traditions but also its commitment to sustainability, with environmentally conscious lighting choices and a focus on unity and environmental awareness.
