The holidays are approaching and stores in Rome are pulling out all the stops and decorating their windows in celebration. We don’t want you to miss a moment of the fabulous spectacle this provides!
While last week we showed you images from Rome’s Christmas Fair in Piazza Navona with its myriad of presepe figures, this week we’ve been strolling around in search of some of the more original presepe offerings adorning shop windows in the Eterna.
A stroll past Rome’s famous gelateria, Giolitti, is always worth the time as the pink grapefruit and rice flavors are as close as one can get to nectar and ambrosia. But, at Christmas, a visit to this celebrated ice-cream scooping locale holds extra delight, as the gelato wizards there often create scrumptious-looking presepe scenes such as that placed in a chocolate cave with a candy village scene towering above (left).
Yet not even a chocolate Christmas creche can trump the innovative idea of featuring a creche scene on a pile of parmigiano (right). Spotted on Via della Scrofa, the display provoked a round of the age-old carol, “O Christmas Cheese.”
