Wonder Christmas in San Marino
The “incredible journey” of the Christmas of Wonders in San Marino began on November 26, in the presence of the Director of the Tourism and Culture Department, Filippo Francini, the Director of the Tourism Office, Annachiara Sica, Alberto di Rosa of NexTime Events and Simone Ranieri of Illusion Group, artistic director of the event.
The traveling parade with amazing artists and performers started from Porta San Francesco and reached the beating heart of the Republic of San Marino, Piazza della Libertà , crossing the streets illuminated by the enchantment of warm and lively lights and enlivened by magical Christmas sounds , leaving young and old alike open-mouthed.
The cast of “La Fabbrica dei Toys” welcomed the public with a magical and overwhelming show in which dancers, acrobats and performers transformed themselves into “Il Pianello” with sounds, lights and colors in a truly unique location.
The unmissable stage of the Merry Christmas 2022/2023 edition is the Polar Park, where the many visitors were welcomed by a magical snowfall that whitewashed the historic setting of Cava dei Balestrieri.
The traditional ‘El Vulon’ mask of the Fano Carnival has accepted the invitation to participate in the event, on the occasion of the co-marketing activity activated between the Secretariat of State for Tourism and the organization of the well-known Marche Carnival which will allow San Marino to promote the tourist destination on the occasion of the next Fano Carnival, scheduled for 5, 12 and 19 February 2023.
Climbing aboard the Polar Express, you can take a truly extraordinary journey into the fantastic world of Christmas, letting yourself be guided by the whimsical train manager to discover the immersive shows full of
special effects.
Poste San Marino, Philatelic Numismatic Division, has prepared a special cancellation to celebrate the 20th anniversary of “Il Natale delle Meraviglie”.
The Christmas event continues until 8 January with fantastic attractions and shows, which will enliven the squares and districts of the historic center of the Republic of San Marino. The complete programme, with all the information, can be consulted on: www.visitsanmarino.com.
