As we prepare for the Italian presidency of the G7 in 2017 — during which the Embassy of Italy in US will post dispatches and information material on its new Medium publication G7inUS— here’s a look at how G7 members celebrate the Christmas holidays in Washington DC.
🇺🇸 THE WHITE HOUSE
In the Obama’s eighth and final holiday season, the White House celebrates “The Gift of the Holidays” — the gift of family and friends, reflection and remembrance, and excitement and cheer.

In his Christmas message, Italian Ambassador to the US Armando Varricchio highlights the busy international agenda for Italy next year with the Italian presidency of the G7, its membership in the UN Security Council, and the 60th anniversary of the European Union.
