POTD: Chestnuts Roasting on an Open Fire

"First night together,
Rome glows with celebration.
Chestnuts crack and steam."

Today's photo-of-the-day is of Piazza Navona in Rome. It was the first night of our whole family being together to celebrate Christmas in Rome. A holiday tradition all over Italy (and in plenty of other places in the world) is roasting chestnuts (castagne arrosto) over open charcoal braziers. They are served piping hot in paper cones. Here, a stranger enjoys the tradition.

A bonus photo is after the jump.
