It’s a peculiar crib set in the inspiring big cave of Etruscan origin, called the Well of the Quarry. The setting-up and the main theme, that is different in each edition, is made by professionals of theatrical and film special effects also with life-size mechanical characters. The goal is developing leitmotifs based on a precise historical reconstruction of habits and customs, by mixing sacred texts, myths and traditions.

The year’s theme is “The sign” and will continue the cycle of “Witnesses” inaugurated last year and characterized by some secondary characters narrating the first Christmas from their unusual point of view.
