The famous Via del Corso in Rome now remains bright even at night. Here, Christmas garlands stretch out like a luminous carpet. Total 18 threads. They are 1,400 meters long and have 300,000 light bulbs. The installation is dedicated to peace throughout the planet.
Venice is also preparing for Christmas. Dozens of Santa Clauses create a festive mood. They got into gondolas and staged a real regatta, sailing through all the canals of the city.
And in France, in anticipation of Christmas, they remember the benefits of sports. A festive marathon is taking place in the town of Issy-les-Moulineaux. It involves thousands of runners dressed as Santa. Such races have been held here for more than 45 years.
