Hard to imagine an evening gets much better than this. Wow. I love the way the sacred and the commercial collide at events like these. For me, that balance between lighting a candle in a historic cathedral and a Campari-sponsored drone display is one of the strange but charming aspects of Italy in the 21st century. It doesn't please the purists, but somehow it's very true to the human experience. Amazing photos as well!

Lighting a candle is always a good idea, gives one skin in the game, a sense of participation rather than observance. 🕯
