The place has just welcomed the new year 2013, escapes

Thousands of people in Pisa, Tuscany, Italy in late March, arrived at Pisa's leaning tower to welcome the new year. This is the first place in the world to welcome 2013 and escape the "doomsday" given on December 21, 2012.

Tuscany is a large area in central Italy. The city of Pisa in Tuscany has a calendar nine months earlier than Christmas. This event was meant to mark Mary's beginning to conceive of Jesus.

The people of Pisa enjoy the New Year in Pisa leaning tower.

Traditionally, the new year in Tuscany begins at 12 noon on 25-3, when the sun shines through the leaning cathedral of Pisa, against an egg-shaped marble stele. It is said that this is a sign of proliferation and the spring of the new year begins.

Maria Rossi, 23, said : 'It's great. We have two New Year holidays, two holidays a year. '

According to Professor Fabrizio Franceschini - of the University of Pisa, in the 10th century, Pisa had a powerful fleet in the Mediterranean. The fact that this area has its own calendar is an expression of power.

The calendar of the Pisa region was first known since 985 and strongly influenced the whole of Tuscany. In Tuscany, everyone used an ancient calendar similar to the Florentine calendar (beginning the new year on March 25) but the calendar was in Florentine a year later than Pisa.

The people of Pisa are very proud because they are lucky to receive the earliest new year in the world. Moreover, they also feel lucky to have 'survived' through the apocalypse as rumored, on December 21, 2012.

'Glad that we have entered the new year 2013 while the world is still worried about the Apocalypse' - To quote Dario - the people of Pisa city.
