Whitewashed Piazza Grande, but it is not snow. Today a dense but short hailstorm has fallen on the city of Arezzo and, in particular, on the historic center.
And so, after a while, a splendid photograph of Vasari Square started to shoot up on social media. White with hail. the brick, the restaurant furniture, all filled with grains of ice that have created an even more surreal atmosphere. On Christmas Day, in fact, the place was empty, the kitchens worked for take-out and home delivery.
In fact, it was a local owner in Piazza Grande who immortalized the scene. Silvia Albiani from Vasari Cafè and Essenza di Dario and Anna took the photo.
