A red-and-white dress code was strictly enforced on Sunday as 500 Pescara residents took to the streets dressed as Santa Claus for charity.
The Santa event was organized with UNICEF, the United Nations Children's Fund, in order to raise money for children in the Horn of Africa. The costumed Babbo Natali (Father Christmas) took over Pescara's main square and marched through downtown accompanied by holiday music and a classic car show.
