I think travel during the Christmas holidays makes a wonderful diversion for those whose family situations have changed over the years making the holiday sad and stressful rather than happy. I’d love to visit Italy during the holidays. I’m saving your tips for when I do just that.

Hey guys! I am going to Italy and am concerned that everything will be closed during the Christmas time and post Christmas time. I would like to visit Florence after Christmas and that means museums … Does anybody know if the trains are still going and museums are opened?
And how difficult is to do sight-seeing after Christmas in a country like Italy, where people like to “take it easy”…?

This is a lovely summary about Italy at Christmas. My research indicates the first nativity scene appeared for the first time at a mass offered by Saint Francis of Assisi. He had asked Giovanni Vellita of Gubbio, Umbria to create something memorable for Christmas devotions. That creation was the manger scene it inspired devotionthus il Presepio” was born. Ii remains an art form throughout the Christian world.

Gubbio is also the town and famous story of St. Francis and the Wolf . Both my parents were born in Gubbio.
