Religious... Or Not!

First Sunday post in this blog! Hallelujah!
Sunday is certainly the most religious day in Italy, of course, Italy is THE catholic country so it is kind of obvious! And marriage is the most important sacrement of Catholicism...
On a really sunny 20th of September, I was indeed sit on the stairs in front of the Dom, enjoying the nice view on Corso Vanucci. As well as enjoying the view of this really intimate moment when the bride went down the stairs and was warmly welcomed by her "brand new" husband (!) who kindly helped her to straighten her veil. You have to know now that up at the centre, the wind is always blowing. Should be sunny, rainy or foggy, the wind is almost always refreshing you! Perugia does have a specific climate... unfortunately.
You should also know that the stairs - le scalette, are a whole institution in Perugia. Non only, are they part of the heterogenuous Dom (a photo should be posted soon) but also part of the vivid nightlife. Early in the night, at around 11pm, people start sitting down, a beer in a hand, a cigarette in the other one, while chatting, laughing and looking at each other... well, the night just gets started and it always starts there on the stairs. On Winter, people do not forget this most famous meeting point and just meet at the Piazza, the abandoned stairs behind them, a beer in a hand, a cirgarette in the other one...
And on Sunday morning, people still get married and go down the tiring stairs looking at Corso Vanucci...
