Nadàl in famìa
On the feast of St. Nicholas, a month-long program with a variety of content begins, which will create a warm, family and nostalgic atmosphere on the Grand Pier and present the Rovinj Christmas tradition. This year, we found inspiration in the beautiful oil on canvas "Carousel-Giostra" by Bruno Mascarelli, the great Parisian-Rovinj painter who was an artistic icon of our city and co-founder of the Rovinj City Museum. And while a large reproduction will adorn the facade of the Ecomuseum-Ecomuseo in his honor, a luminous vintage carousel with horses will spin on the Grand Pier, which will delight numerous little ones. There will also be a children's corner, numerous workshops on holiday decorations and sweets, lectures on music and gastronomy, traditional games for children, stories and cartoons in the Rovinj dialect, old-fashioned sweets, a Christmas exhibition and a nativity scene, and, of course, the proximity of the sea, Rovinj songs and fragrant fritules with mulled wine. All this, with the arrival of St. Nicholas with sweet treats, will be waiting for you from December 6th on the magically decorated Grand Pier in front of our Ecomuseum-Ecomuseo, and the very next day a Christmas train will set off on a merry journey from the Gandusio Theater to the Lungomare Plaza promenade, delighting young and old on Saturdays, Sundays and holidays.
