After The World Cup
We were in the Piazza on Sunday night when Italy took the World Cup ... lots of restrained exuberance, big flag waving, hugging, singing. The orchestra at I Quadri, wearing Azzurri shirts, playing "We Are The Champions" at the moment the results became official.
For the unrestrained form of exuberance, you had to be closer to one of the 3 bridges crossing the Canal Grande, where kids were playing cat and mouse with the Polizia free-diving into the pitch dark from the crest of the crossings. Check out the photos below, from the Accademia bridge, at about 2 in the AM.
Things were rocking at Campo Santa Margherita, as would be expected. There was a crowd of about 300 people, including one group that was banging on a newstand with sticks, bottles and hands in an impromptu drum circle kind of thing. Decibel level .. off the charts.
More swimming by the Ponte dei Pugni.
