I take this opportunity to publish these photos of the famous Piazza dei Miracoli in Pisa today with the hope that Christmas can make the wishes you have expressed come true... hoping that they are not miracles!
The two photos are of the same square (you will say: "thanks for the information!") but the first one is processed in HDR to give it a little more, if you like that kind of thing!

Where is the square located:

The Piazza del Duomo is the most important artistic and tourist center of Pisa. Listed among the World Heritage Sites by UNESCO since 1987, you can admire the monuments that form the center of the city's religious life, called miracles (by Gabriele d'Annunzio in 1910) for their beauty and originality: the Cathedral, the Baptistery, the Campo Santo and the Bell Tower. From this comes the popular name of Piazza dei Miracoli which then spread in the post-war era of mass tourism.

Luci di Natale

Le luci natalizie sono luci utilizzate per la decorazione per celebrare il Natale, spesso esposte durante il periodo natalizio tra cui l’Avvento e il Natale. L’usanza risale a quando gli alberi di Natale erano decorati con delle candele, che simboleggiavano Cristo. I primi alberi di Natale esposti pubblicamente e illuminati con luci elettriche sono diventati popolari all’inizio del XX secolo.

La fontana dei quattro continenti a Trieste

The world is represented by four allegorical statues that recall the features of the people who lived in the continents then known (Europe, Asia, Africa and America).
The water flowed from four allegorical figures of rivers, always indicating the continents. The representation of the Nile has a veiled face, since the sources were unknown at that time.
