Ercolano Living Nativity (Piazza Pugliano)

The Ercolano Living Nativity returned to animate Piazza Pugliano on December 28 and 29, 2025, starting at 6:00 PM. As is tradition, the youth of the local parishes brought the Nativity re-enactment to life, with the patronage of the Municipality of Ercolano.

Over the course of the two evenings, the young participants performed the musical Rallegrati, dedicated to the story of the Holy Family, to rediscover the true meaning of Christmas through art. Along the path, there was no shortage of farm animals and workshops: some set up for display, others ready to offer tastings of traditional local products. Admission was free, in an atmosphere of celebration shared by the entire Ercolano community in the shadow of Mount Vesuvius.
