Christmas in Italy
I heard the radio program where you talked about
Christmas in Italy. I've spend three Christmases
there and I would just warn the listener (since
she said she was arriving on the 23rd) that
almost no restaurants are open on Christmas Day
(also the bus systems stop running at noon, etc.).
Usually, I was with friends, so it did not make a
difference. But once, we were driving from Belgium
and couldn't make it to Rome on time. So we were
in Florence for Christmas Day and nothing was
open until we finally found a Chinese restaurant
open with another American couple as its only
guests!
