Christmastime in Milano


We took the kids down to Milano one evening in early December. It was clear, and there were lights everywhere. It was a lot of fun!  Here are James, Norah, and Luca in the Galleria, which is a covered shopping center near the Piazza Duomo. It was built in the 1860's and 1870's, and inside, it is absolutely gorgeous (think frescoes, mosaic tile floors, the works...). For Christmas, they had the dome in the middle of the Galleria lit up in thousands of blue lights. Spectacular!

A view of the dome, with the symbol of Milano in lights.

A huge Christmas tree in the Piazza Duomo, and the beautiful church lit up...a lovely sight!
