At this time of the year, I usually need to make clear that I have not lost my mind writing about New Year’s Day in Pisa in March… Actually, Pisa celebrates its very own New Year’s Day on March 25. They are always one step ahead of us all, those Pisans…
That is how my grandfather used to wish us Happy New Year. It means “have a good end of the year and an even better beginning of the new year”. We hope 2012 brings our way many new interesting people and, hopefully, some old friends too!
December can be either mild or quite cold. It is however one of our favorite months in Tuscany because it’s a festive month, with the seasonal holidays, the markets and the unusual views after a snowfall!
Pisa celebrates New Year’s Day on March 25 with a parade and a sunbeam lighting a marble egg in the Cathedral at midday sharp. A fabulous event that commemorates an ancient tradition!
