While in Rome the "Sol Invictus" is still the master, making the ancient marbles shine and giving temperatures above thirty degrees (for which Northern Europeans have always envied us), it is nice to "cool off" a little with some photographs of Rome, in the days of what remained in the annals of meteorologists as the biggest snowfall that hit our country in the twentieth century: that of 1956.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On February 4, 1956, and for three days in a row, Rome too was hit by the heavy snowfall that affected Italy, starting from the north of the boot, since January 27.
The minimum temperature recorded in our country, during those days, was that of -40 \u00b0 on the Plateau Rosa.
For many days, in the capital, temperatures remained below freezing, with negative peaks of -8 \u00b0, and many of the incredible scenes that characterized those days are represented in this small gallery.
The great snowfall of 1956 in Rome was, over the years, the inspiration for countless songs, stories and short stories that are still part of the popular heritage of this city today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
