Il Giorno di Natale - Christmas Day

What a delightful day we have had. Mass this morning as there is no midnight Mass any longer. Breakfast, excellent presents and then a long, long lunch outside where the day was sunny and 32 deg. c. A swim in the pool and then we watched an Italian movie... outdoors, of course!

 After Mass I just happened to glimpse this beautiful child visiting the nativity scene 

Panettone and cappuccino for breakfast

              My favourite movie is in this collection of Italian movies 2013.

La Grande Bellezza or The Great Beauty is a visually spectacular movie filmed mostly in Rome. It won many international movie awards in 2013. Even without understanding all that is going on, I love this film.
