Egg Events organizes the 2015 Banca Monte dei Paschi di Siena Christmas Tour in nine Italian cities

December 2, 2015

The Banca Monte dei Paschi di Siena 2015 Christmas Tour, designed and produced by EGG Events, set off on 1st December from the city where the bank was founded in 1472. The tour kicked off in the Piazza Salimbeni with the traditional switching on of the lights on the very tall Christmas tree, donated by MPS to the city, marking the start of Siena’s Christmas celebrations.

In the centre of the piazza stood a 16sqm stand displaying an enormous Christmas present topped with a big luminous bow; inside was a snow-clad winter tableau, hosting a life-size reindeer with Santa Claus’s sleigh brimming with presents.

The installation was surrounded by many types of entertainment and animation addressed to families and children: elves and reindeer, stands for customized photographs with various props, cartoon drawings to be shared on social media, face painting for young children, free sweets, balloons, blown glass Christmas decorations and many other things. Passers-by were invited to take part in an online competition for a trip to the home of Santa Claus in Lapland.

Throughout the month of December the tour will visit another eight city squares across Italy: in Reggio Emilia, Messina, Florence, Naples, Trieste, Pescara, Aosta and Ancona.
