ITALY_Castelfranco Veneto - carousel (merry-go-round)

It happen to be both: 1st of May and Sunday, when we have been there. We arrived around the noon time and street (should I call it the-main-square?) was full with local ppl. They all were in holday dress, many kept glasses of wine (celebrated May 1st, I guess), others eat snacks. Carousel was rotating and parents waited for galloping kids. At 1 PM everyting stopped and town got empty in few single minutes . Domo locked its doors, cafe closed, carousel was switched off and people dissapeared. It's nothing as saint in Italy as siesta time! At 3PM town awoke once again.

Nearby accommodation: Albergo Residence Roma
