About Verona Christmas package

Verona is a great location to spend your Christmas. For children in Verona the Christmas celebrations traditionally begin with the Feast of Santa Lucia. On the night between the 12th and the 13th December, before going to bed every child will place a bowl of water and a carrot for the donkey together with a little letter containing the list of all the toys and things they desire. If they have been good, then Santa Lucia will bring them their presents, otherwise they will just get a piece of black coal. Behind this tradition, which dates back to the Middle Ages there are a number of events which culminate with the traditional Santa Lucia Market, held in Piazza Brà against the evocative background characterised by the white steel shooting star whose comet tail is seen coming out from the Arena. This image has now become the symbol of Christmas in Verona. For a few days before and after the Feast of Santa Lucia you can stroll amongst the market stalls and take in the spontaneous displays organised by the vendors, trying a thousand tasty treats from all over Italy, or buy small toys and unusual gadgets. Another part of the fun of "Waiting for Santa Lucia" in Piazza Brà is taking part in "The Night of The Little Bells" (La Notte dei Campanellini), which lasts for four evenings and is centred around the historical antique merry-go-round where you can hear fairy stories, play games and receive presents. All these different events form part of the Christmas festivities, just as "Singing under a Star (Cantando sotto una stella), and also the New Year's Day Concert; The arrival of the Three Wise Men, the Epiphany Bonfire on which the Epiphany old hag is burnt in Piazza Brà, and many others. It really is an unforgettable experience. Holiday celebrations in Italy extend through all of December until the 6th January, when the Festa della Befana signals the close of the holiday season.
