During the Christmas season, again this year, the inevitable nativity scenes will be set up in churches and also in some outdoor spaces in Cervia and its area.

The nativity scene is a very important symbol and therefore they are all made with great care and attention. Each nativity scene is, in fact, handcrafted and made of different materials, salt, wood, plaster.

These representations range from more classic to more innovative creations.
