2025-2026 edition — the 32nd edition

The 32nd edition of the Faggiano Living Nativity took place during the Christmas season between December 2025 and January 2026, at the evocative natural site of the Campana, along Via Giuseppe Verdi. The return of the event was confirmed by the local press at the end of December 2025.

As per tradition, the openings were concentrated on the evenings of the Christmas period — between December 26th and January 6th — with a visit from a delegation from Greccio, a twin city, and with the procession of the Magi on the day of the Epiphany. Over one hundred costumed participants brought the Nativity Grotto and ancient rural crafts to life, along a rocky path curated by the Associazione per le Tradizioni Popolari APS. Admission to the nativity scene was set at a symbolic ticket price of 2 euros.
