Christmas of Monumental Cribs
Nomi, a small village of great wonders
From the 29th of November to the 6th of January, experience the Nativity as never before with the spectacular nativity scenes in the small hamlet of Nomi.
Yet again this year, Nomi turns into the town of monumental nativity scenes housed in the local streets and parks. Along the streets, amidst ancient gates, stone thresholds and windows with iron grilles, you will be able to admire numerous representations of the Nativity created in the most varied forms of expression, which the lights at dusk cover with an unforgettable charm.
It is also worth visting the memorable granary in the city-centre, which this year hosts 5 beautiful nativity scenes.
