Edition 2025 — Gualtieri Sicaminò Living Nativity

The 2025 edition of the Gualtieri Sicaminò Living Nativity took place from December 26 to 28, from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM, in the historic Misericordia district. Along the alleys lit by torches and candles, performers animated ancient crafts such as the blacksmith, carpenter, and cobbler, while women staged embroidery, fresh pasta preparation, and wool carding. The route, accompanied by music and songs, culminated in the evocative Nativity scene.

2025 Edition

The Gualtieri Sicaminò Living Nativity was held from December 26 to 28, 2025, with evening openings from 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM. The Misericordia district welcomed visitors in an atmosphere of rare charm, with alleys lit exclusively by torches and candles.

The route passed through Herod's Palace, the Ponte Vecchio, and the Annunziata church, where performers brought to life ancient crafts (blacksmith, carpenter, cobbler) and scenes of daily life with embroidery, fresh pasta, and wool carding. Music, songs, and dances accompanied visitors up to the Nativity, with the Baby Jesus surrounded by little angels. Admission was free and the entire Gualtieri Sicaminò community participated in the organization.
