How to know Christmas is coming: Rocca di Papa’s star
For those who live southeast of Rome, a familiar and most visible alert that the Christmas season has arrived is the annual appearance of a huge white neon star on the mountainside just above the village of Rocca di Papa.
In English translation, the name means Fortress of the Pope. It derives from a 12th century Pope, Eugene III, who lived in Rocca di Papa, according to Wikipedia.
The photo above was taken a few days ago by a friend, Tarcisio Arzuffi, who generously offers me photos for my blog sometimes.
