Notte Bianca

Notte Bianca , means "White Night" literally. This is a big party for everyone/all shops/resturants/bars Oltarno. Its is basically a big party outdoors on the south side of the city and it goes on ALL night, thus "White Night". It is a huge event every year. Since Gimmy went to London, I called my friend Jacqui ( the famous photographer) and we went together. I was unable to take photos in the streets but they were packed with people, loud music, and people selling wine and snacks. There were bands playing in each main square like this one in Santa Spirito.


Jacqui!

Another band in Piazza Del Carmine, you can see the frame of the stage.

Gimmy's London Trip

Gimmy went with Carlo and Marika to London to have a meeting with Hard Rock Europe!

In London, in front of the the hotel they stayed in. It is a college but also a hotel...

The name of the college ( Ha ha!)


Good morning Carlo! Having breakfast in a Harry Potter chamber.
