I was thinking about the upcoming Christkindlmarkt season in Europe, when I happened upon a short video from Alfredo (Aiellici) of the annual Christkindlmarkt in Bolzano, Italy; just a few weeks away now.
The Bolzano Christkindlmarkt takes place every year from the last Friday of November to 23rd December in Bolzano's Walther Square. There is a smaller Christmas market called 'Winterwald' (Winter wood), which takes place near Walther square in Palais Campofranco's yard and the 'Handwerksmarkt' in the Municipal square and the Christmas market of solidarity in some streets of the historical centre, creating a very Alpine atmosphere.
