Rome will illuminate the city hall building at Palazzo Senatorio with a light show of Roman Renaissance drawings over the Christmas period. Titled Nascimento. Ispirazione Romana, the project will see city hall lit up with Renaissance images of a city model "based on the concepts of harmony, symmetry and proportion."

In addition two landmark buildings in Piazza Navona - Palazzo Braschi and Palazzo Pamphilj - will be illuminated at night with images of the Nativity, as part of the AmoR, che move project. The light shows can be enjoyed each night from Christmas Eve until 6 January.
