The fireworks started in Piazza Bra, Verona at midnight. They are launched from within L’Arena, the 2000 year-old amphitheatre. Spectacular. I tried to capture the flavor of them in the following photos, but in order to have easier maneuvering in the crowd, I only brought my little camera. But I think you’ll get a sense of what it’s like to stand outdoors watching fireworks in Piazza Bra at midnight as the new year starts.
