We’ve already talked of Italy’s famous nativity scenes, especially from Naples and the via S.
Gregorio Armeno.
The “presepe” (nativity scenes) workshops along this street are renowned for making famous figures as part of the scene, with previous appearances from Barak Obama and family, and Michael Jackson.
This year, infamous Wikileaks personality Julian Assange has made an appearance, with the first and only copy of his statuette costing 130 euros.
Further to this year, Naples is once again in the middle of a rubbish crisis, and so many Italian nativity scenes from the city this year represent the holy family wearing gas marks.
Whatever you think of this treatment of nativity scenes, it’s a must for an Italian Christmas to know what’s happening in the Naples nativity scene market.
