Via Margutta and Via del Babuino shine.

Christmas Stars and Lights shine on Via Margutta and Via del Babuino.

There was a beautiful Christmas atmosphere in Via Margutta and Via del Babuino, with the lighting ceremony of the Christmas illuminations. The initiative conceived by Alberto Moncada, President of the Associazione Internazionale di Via Margutta, and Maria Letizia Rapetti, President of the Nuova Associazione del Babuino, who in full synergy planned this event, convinced that "together" it is possible to promote and enhance the various commercial and creative realities that live them.

Among autographs and photographers' flashes, the patroness of the initiative, actress Eliana Miglio, gave the electronic impetus for the switching on of the lights of the capital's most renowned streets of art and antiques. Institutional guests who attended: the Councillor for the Environment of the 1st City Hall Anna Vincenzoni, the Councillor for Tourism of the Municipality of Rome Carlo Cafarotti and the President of the Shoah Foundation Prof. Mario Venezia.

Magical was the effect of the "starry sky" that illuminated Via Margutta, strongly desired by the Board of Directors of the International Association of Via Margutta composed by: Tina Vannini, Grazia Marino Laura Pepe, Hayleey Nielsen, Fabrizio Russo and Avv. Pierluigi Mancuso. The street of artists, art galleries, artisan workshops, but also of new entrepreneurial and creative proposals related to the world of hotellerie, food, design and fashion, which with this installation proposes itself even more as the most famous street of Roman creativity in the world.

Instead, a tunnel of shining lights illuminated Via del Babuino, a luminous arch that bridges the prestigious establishments on the prestigious artery from Piazza del Popolo to Piazza di Spagna. The city's most exclusive shopping destination, where antique galleries, art studios, luxury hotels and global luxury brands have always offered the coolest proposals of the moment at Christmas.

The artistic moment of the Compagnia Italiana di Teatro e Danza directed by Livia Ghizzoni, which in various choreographic sequences developed in Via Margutta and Via del Babuino, gave life to an exclusive performance that involved Romans and tourists present on the two magical streets.

Special thanks go to all the businesses in the two "Associations" and to the residents of the two prestigious streets, whose contributions made the upcoming holiday season "brighter". Photo by Flavia Lucidi.
