Tonight, my roommates and i went to piazza signoria to watch festa della rificolona, or the lantern festival. it's based on an old tradition when farmers would make the pilgrimage from surrounding villages to florence in order to celebrate the birthday of virgin Mary. They elebrate now by parading through the streets of Florence with live music and tons of little kids carrying cute candle-lit lanterns. it was so pretty!
Tomorrow is a beach day in Viareggio. So excited!
