La Notte Bianca

Ciao!! Saturday night we went to La Notte Bianca! In case you don’t know what this is it is the night when all of Rome stays up and attends different events around the city. The events range from musical acts on stages to group dancing in the street. I have never experienced anything like this in my life. The whole city was alive and full of energy till eight in the morning. We started off the evening walked around Campo Di Fiori also known to Italians as the “Campo Di America” because it were a lot of Americans go to hang out. We went to a pub called The Drunken Ship, which was shockingly mostly Americans. It was fun for a few minutes, until we all came to the conclusion that we did not come to Rome to immerse ourselves with other Americans, but with Italians. We then headed to Circus Maximus where we stumbled upon a “cirque de soleil” like musical act. The performance was one of the most intriguing acts I have ever seen in my life. I posted some pictures, but words can really do it justice. After that act we walked to Piazza Novana and watched some impromptu Sicilian dancing. That was lots of fun to see Italians dancing so energetically at four in the morning. Our feet were starting to hurt so we had a much needed cappuccino and rested for a bit. Somehow, we walked to the Giancolo hill to watch the sunrise. I couldn’t believe how many people were there at 6 am. Although we were exhausted, it was worth it.
