Florence becomes brighter and lighter with its churches, towers, piazzas and monuments turning into targets of illumination. In locations all over the city light will take center stage with projections, light shows and games and educational activities.

Following last year’s popular F-Light Festival, organizers have extended the event past Christmas and into January.

The season’s kickoff begins when the mayor lights the big fir trees in Palazzo Vecchio and Piazza Duomo. (December 8, Palazzo Vecchio 5 pm, Piazza Duomo 6 pm).For the following month residents and visitors can look forward to many activities dedicated to families and children including video mapping which turns familiar Florentine landmarks into display surfaces for light projections.
