Edition 2025 — Arbëreshë Living Nativity

During the Christmas period 2025, Portocannone staged the Arbëreshë Living Nativity in the Borgo di Costantinopoli, with figures in Albanian costume, ancient crafts, and the arrival of the Three Wise Men on horseback. The event was combined with the GustiAm Portocannone gastronomic event.

The Arbëreshë Living Nativity of Christmas 2025 confirmed in Portocannone a deep-rooted tradition: through the alleys of the Borgo di Costantinopoli, figures in Albanian costume re-enacted the Nativity and ancient crafts, while the arrival of the Three Wise Men on horseback crowned Epiphany Day. The event, organized by the Municipality with the Parish of Saints Peter and Paul and the Pro Loco Skanderbeg, was intertwined with the flavours of the GustiAm Portocannone food and wine event, in a blend of faith, Arbëreshë identity, and taste.

Programme

Performances of the living nativity on the days of the Christmas period (between December 26th and January 6th), from approximately 6:00 PM to 8:30 PM, with figures in Arbëreshë costume in the Borgo di Costantinopoli and the arrival of the Three Wise Men on horseback on January 6th. Event combined with GustiAm Portocannone.
