What do two popes, the actor Terence Hill, and Doctors without Borders have in common? Each of them has had the honor of lighting the world’s largest Christmas tree, proudly displayed since 1981 in the small Umbrian town of Gubbio in Italy.
Perhaps not exactly what you imagine a Christmas tree to look like, this one is a display of more than 700 lights splayed across the side of Mount Ingino and arranged in the shape of a Christmas tree. Gubbio is nestled into the side of this mountain, and, while especially charming during Christmas, the town is an unspoiled place to visit any time of year.
