I was in Rome yesterday. By the time, I finished my work, it was already dark and I still had about an hour for my train. I decided to use that hour by going to Piazza Navona, the Navona square.
Rome is full of beautiful squares but this is perhaps the most beautiful of them all. Shaped like a big boat (Navona literally means a big boat), the square has beautiful fountains, and during the day, artists, musicians and tourists throng it, so it is difficult to walk around.

Last night was different, because of the Christmas shops. There were rows of cheerful, brightly lit, colourful shops.
I was so busy going around and looking at the shops that I almost missed my train. While rushing back towards the metro station, I saw the Bartolucci workshop in a small street near Piazza Navona, with the craftsman working on wooden handicrafts while the wooden Pinocchios with their long noses kept him company.
The owner-craftsman, he seemed as if he had just stepped out of a fable, into the dark, narrow, cobbled street.
