Representation of the birth of Jesus

The Neapolitan nativity scene is a representation of the birth of Jesus traditionally set in Naples in the eighteenth century.[1]

The Neapolitan nativity scene of the Royal Palace of Caserta.[1]

The Neapolitan crib art has remained unchanged for centuries, becoming part of the most consolidated and followed Christmas traditions of the city. Famous in Naples, in fact, is the well-known via dei presepi (via San Gregorio Armeno) which offers a showcase of all the local crafts concerning the nativity scene. Moreover, there are numerous city and non-city museums (such as the museum of San Martino or the Royal Palace of Caserta) in which historical pieces or entire scenes set during the birth of Jesus are exhibited.[2]
