Enjoying narrow Italian roads and Dancing Waltz in Town Square

| Italy | 40 seen

It was on the afternoon of January 1st, we had left Venice in the morning and traveled towards Verona, we made a few stops before in some local lovely municipalities. Our car radio was tuned to some Italian radio who played The Vienna Philharmonic New Year's Concert under the baton of Mariss Jansons.

Janaury 1st is magical, streets are empty and those at the wheel can enjoy empty roads

We turned max volume on our car radio and danced for about 5 minutes in this town square. Just lovely, surreal and magical.. Few windows were opened and few curios watched our performance. Thank you Mariss Jansons for great performance.
