The Via dei Presepi in San Gregorio Armeno turns the lights back on: that's when

Crib of San Gregorio Armeno

The heart of the Christmas in Naples if it concentrates San Gregorio Armeno and the celebrations have already begun for a few days, but the inauguration has not yet been done. It will be officially held on next weekend of November 2022.

The president of the craftsmen, Samuel Marigliano, has however recently declared that this year the opening of the historic route has undergone a two weeks delay because of the Costs, in fact only 30 of the 46 artisans decided to participate. Despite some important shortcomings, the street will come alive for the Christmas period.

Will not miss the good local food, but unfortunately even here there is the fear that the crisis could make modern food places take over the place of historic shops of the area. Hence the need to try to protect the culinary art:

“We have started the procedure for the recognition of the intangible art of the Neapolitan nativity scene as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, to safeguard the families that have carried on the tradition, often for generations. During Covid we did not have access to any contributions, despite being closed, because our Ateco code belongs to the ceramic factories, which have never stopped ” .

Do not miss the project of Neapolitan nativity scene which will be set up, especially for schools and the new generations, at a private mansion in Piazzetta San Gregorio or a former public kindergarten in via del Grande Archivio.

Among the novelties of this year among the historical ones figurines, which have always attracted tourists and citizens, we find: the footballer kvaratskhelia, the Nigerian footballer osimhen and especially the now famous depiction of Giorgia Melons which costs well 300 €.
