Crafts, Taste, and Tradition
Along the village streets, craft stalls and gift ideas are set up, alongside stands for typical gastronomic products from the local supply chain, such as those from Molise Farm, and mulled wine. Santa Claus also makes an appearance, a moment eagerly awaited by the little ones.
