CHRISTMAS IN MY PLACE (SECONDIGLIANO)

  • Typical Neapolitan crib

     

     

    It is a typical Neapolitan crib, with the statues of characters just a bit smaller than a man. The characters are all humble people (artisans, street sellers, bakers, fishers, butchers and so on), whereas the locations are their houses and their workshop. Everything is set in the 18th century, the period in which the Neapolitan crib is usually located. This Crib is in the Church of S.Maria della Natività, which is near our school.
