In San Marino inaugurates “The Christmas of Wonders” Italpress news agency
SAN MARINO (ITALPRESS) – The nineteenth edition of Christmas of Wonders kicks off: ribbon cutting took place on the afternoon of November 27 at 5.00 pm in Piazza della Libertà in the presence of the Secretary of State for Tourism, Federico Pedini Amati and the Artistic Director, Andrea Prada.
In Piazza della Libertà, the projections animated the historic buildings that frame “il Pianello” with lights, sounds and colors.
The over 19 kilometers of golden lights, installed by the Metalux company, lit up Christmas in the World Heritage setting, transforming the most iconic places in San Marino into works of art.
There are 13 locations in the historic center set up with installations, interactive works, entertainment spaces, markets and event areas.
“The difficulties of the last few years have achieved this by not assuming that what existed before the pandemic must still be organized today. Yet just as we did last year, we are committed to following up on a project that has characterized our country’s winter tourist season for 19 years. Not without difficulty – affirms Federico Pedini Amati, Secretary of State for Tourism -. This year, under the guidance of a new artistic director, we aimed at an event for families involving 13 spaces in the historic center and combining tradition and innovation. I would like to remember the effort made to reduce budgets while keeping the level of installations and fittings high at the same time. Today the Christmas of Wonders opens, my personal wish and the hope of the Secretariat of State for Tourism is that many people, San Marino and tourists, choose to spend a few hours, in safety, in our historic center to experience the atmosphere of Christmas and find moments of serenity. Thanks to the companies involved, to the Tourist Office and to the staff of the Secretariat, thanks also to the trade associations and charities that have collaborated in setting up and managing the markets. Happy Holidays and have fun “.
The Christmas of Wonders “A Fantastic Work” is organized by Euforika with the Artistic Direction of Andrea Prada for the Secretariat of State for Tourism and the Tourist Office of the Republic of San Marino and is also realized thanks to the collaboration and contribution of Cassa di Risparmio, Marlù Gioielli and of all those who are working for the success of the event.
