Nativity scene inside the Basilica of Santo Stefano

An ancient tradition in constant evolution

We propose this visit during the Christmas holidays, the cribs can be viewed approximately from 1st December to 6th January

A walk in small stages in the centre of Bologna to appreciate the nativity scenes that every year remind us of an ancient tradition that is at the same time renewed in the setting and in the arrangement of the statues. We will try to grasp their symbolic meanings and compare ancient specimens, including the oldest nativity scenein the world with full relief statues dating back to the 13th century, with the current representations of craftsmen and sculptors in a dialogue that shows how this tradition continues to renew itself.
