All I want for Christmas
42043 Taneto RE, Italia
The biggest covered Christmas market in Italy with about 4000 square meters, is set up with everything necessary for a perfect Christmas vibe.
Once
again I renewed my visit to the Santa’s Village in Taneto di
Gattatico and like last year it surprised me once more. This time I took my
father with me because he always liked the Christmas decorations and
I was sure he would appreciate it. The setting/theme was completely
different from last year.
Taneto di
Gattatico is a small town in the province of Reggio Emilia where for the last 16
years (first edition in 2002), during the Christmas period, a garden centre
magically turns into Santa’s Village. Therefore, it will be open from the last
weekend of October to the 7th of January.
It is the biggest covered Christmas market in Italy where an area of about 4000 square meters, arranged in two floors, is set up with everything necessary for a perfect Christmas decoration. In fact, products of different quality and variety are exposed in order to satisfy every taste and every pocket. The Christmas market in Gattatico offers plenty of Christmas gift ideas.

The particularity
of this place is given by the fact that each object is not simply exposed to be
sold but is used to create the warm Christmas atmosphere that just completely
blew all off their feet. Every year is different from the previous ones thanks
to the Christmas designers who study and anticipate international Christmas trends
in order to create evocative settings.
Believe me; not
only children but also adults will go
crazy finding themselves in such an enchanted place.
The Garden Centre is called Mondo Verde and it is located just 2km from the Terre di Canossa highway exit, therefore, easily reachable. The entrance ticket costs 3.00 euros for adults and it is completely free for children under 10 years of old and this remains the second good reason to go with kids. If you spend 30.00 euros or more the amount of your entrance ticket will be given back to you at the exit counter. From Monday to Friday they are open from 9am to 7 pm with a lunch break in the middle between 12.30 to 3pm. On Saturdays they are open non-stop from 9am to 9pm; meanwhile on Sundays and on Public holidays they are open non-stop from 9am to 7 pm. They are closed on the 25th and 26th of December.
Pets are welcomed
here if they are carried appropriately. During the highest turnout moments,
like Saturday and Sunday evenings, it could be forbidden entering with the
strollers. In this case, it will be stored in a safety room at the entrance.
As I imagined, my
father seemed to appreciate it and for me it was really nice seeing him looking
at every single object with the eyes of a child. It remains in our opinion a
place to visit for both adults and children. It might not be as popular as the
Christmas markets in Germany but it is definitely worth your time and visit. It
will really warm your heart and the little ones can see their dreams coming
true. Then what are you waiting for? Here below their contacts details. Via M.Tonelli 30/C, Taneto di Gattatico (RE) Phone number: 0039 0522 671

P.S. Here is a
small secret for children: Among all those beautiful statues of Santa
Claus, there is also a real one with whom taking your souvenir photo. Don't miss him!!!
