Large success of critic and of public, with a lot of the visitors the last editions.     Unanimous the critic to define the   Artistic Nativity Crib   sole in its type:  among  the most attractive of Italy .

In the magical atmosphere of the ancient one Palestine of the times of Jesus, all around, in about 50 square yard of exhibition, revive the characters in their environments strictly made of the so-called "ENVIRONMENTAL PAPIER-MACHE'" them, equipped of many details that leave the astonished visitor and visibly moved.

There it is a little one of everything: from the Caves to the Sources, from the Hills to the Landscapes you ascend of the old one Bethlehem, performed with large mastery in foam expanded; from the Palestinian houses, to the Synagogue, the Roman Temple and the Roman Aqueduct-Bridge, the Caravanserai, the Water Mill, the Palace and the Wall of Herod the Great and the Roman Forum.

The wonderful bright system imitates the phases of the day and of the night with simultaneousness and performance.

In the end, some main Episodes of Jesus' Childhood have been represented;

for example:

•  The Census under Caesar Augustus.

•  The Birth of Jesus.

•  The Purification of Jesus and Virgin Mary at the Temple.

•  The Presentation of Jesus to the Temple.

•  The Wise Men adore the Child Jesus.
