All of the living nativity scenes of the Marche

A tradition of the Marche from Genga up to Falerone.

The living nativity is one of the most characteristic representations at Christmas in Italy. The first living nativity scene dates back to 1223, and was the work of Francesco d’Assisi in Greccio, near Rieti. From that year on, the art of the nativity has spread remaining clearly an Italian and Catholic tradition. However, it has been exported all over the world.

Also in the Marche there are many living nativity scenes and they are organized in the various municipalities. The scenes have not only a meaning for believers, you can find the representations of the arts and customs of that time.
