Zoe tells me there is a Motorcycle Parade of Santas in Pincio, Rome, in December. I'd love to see this but I have Googled and can't find any info on it. Does anyone know what date it will be held on this year, and the Parade Route? Thanks for your help.

Hi, Gracialynne. I found something on Pinterest. Take a look. Try googling Motorcycle Santa Parade Rome Italy. I think part of the route goes through Piazza del Popolo.

I found a really cute pic, Zoe, with female elves riding in a green car which has the headlights decorated with Santa caps. Is that the one you found?
I read that Piazza Navone's Christmas Market was done away with last year. Do you know anything about these other Christmas markets (below) I found listed in a blog? I'm trying to decide which one would be the best to go to? I'd like to try some "poison apples"-- fruit with blood red sugar on them as well as "sugar coal."
"Piazza san Giovanni in Laterano: where there are outdoor stalls with books, jewelry and artifacts (Metro: San Giovanni)
Piazza di Spagna (metro: Spagna, where the Spanish steps are): the market opens on the 18th
Mercato Monti, a year-round market, indoor, near the Colosseum that turns on the Christmas feel during the weeks leading up to Christmas (metro: Cavour)
Romarket, in front of the Maxxi museums and not far from the auditorium"

I found a few references to the parade.
Not familiar with any other Christmas markets in Roma, sorry.
