The cold caresses the skin through a soft scarf and a worm hat. You look for the confort of a hot shelter, maybe you walk sipping mulled wine and realize glancing to the side to be in harmony with someone you do not even know. It is a good feeling because everything is moving, everything is directed towards a single aim, Christmas, holiday, family, friends. Keep walking and watching what happens, what happens to you…Words, smiles and happy thoughts fly in the chilly air. People fly quickly between you and me. Someone looks at a shop window, someone else eats a sweet cake or capture the happy moment in a photograph. The heat emanating from the bodies is finally unleashed and surrounds houses and streets of joy…Then suddenly night falls and something special happens. A bunny, butterflies, a couple of mushrooms and up into the sky a thousand flowers in one way and giant balls in the opposite one. In the middle a big Christmas tree of white light which heats however, giving you the refuge you were looking for. Everything is magical, almost animated, the “artist lights” of the great city of Salerno, come on to give you a magic… Il freddo ti accarezza la pelle attraverso una morbida sciarpa e un cappello. Cerchi il conforto di un riparo caldo, magari camminando sorseggi del vin brulè e ti accorgi volgendo di lato lo sguardo di essere in armonia con qualcuno che neanche conosci. E’ una bella sensazione perché tutto è in movimento, tutto è diretto verso un unico scopo, il Natale, la festa, la famiglia, gli amici. Continui a camminare e a guardare quello che accade, che ti accade…Parole, sorrisi e pensieri felici volano nella gelida aria. Vola velocemente tra te e me, la gente. Qualcuno guarda una vetrina, qualcun altro mangia una dolce ciambella o imprigiona in una fotografia il lieto momento. Il calore che emanano i corpi finalmente è sprigionato e avvolge le case, le strade di gioia…Poi improvvisamente cala la notte e accade qualcosa di speciale. Un coniglietto, farfalle, una coppia di funghi e sopra verso il cielo mille fiori da un lato e sfere giganti dall’altro. Al centro un grande albero di luce bianca che però riscalda offrendo il riparo che cercavi. Tutto è incantato, quasi animato, le luci d’artista della splendida città di Salerno, si accendono per regalarti una magia… …And then when the air of celebration was tinned out and with it the people who crowded the streets, we continued to dream, watching all over again but from a different perspective. From a window in a lovely suite decorated in a romantic Provencal style and equipped with all comforts, too cute not to share it with you all! 🙂 …E poi quando l’aria di festa si è diradata e con lei la gente che affollava le strade, abbiamo continuato a sognare, guardando di nuovo tutto ma da un’altra prospettiva. Dalla finestra di in un incantevole suite arredata in un romanantico stile provenzale e dotata di tutti confort, troppo carina per non condividela con voi! 🙂 B&B : La garconniere (lagarconniere.it)

Salerno is a small city, pretty and above all not caotic. It was nice to promenade there. There was of course many people, but the atmospehre was like it has to be, magic. You have to visit the Salernitana coast 🙂
