Apparently people in Rome are quite upset about the city's Christmas Tree in the Piazza Venezia
They are upset about the sparseness of the foliage, dubbing it "Spelacchio", which roughly translates as mangy or baldy
- "It is clearly dead and it represents a shameful spectacle for citizens and tourists," said the consumers' group Codacons.
- Codacons called for investigation into why nearly 50,000 euros ($60,000) was spent to transport the sickly tree to Rome from a forest near the Austrian border 700 km (430 miles) away.
