The Christmas Island

The widespread Christmas of San Giustino

L'Isola di Natale — 'Magic of events to experience together' — is the holiday program for San Giustino, in the province of Perugia, in the heart of Alta Valle del Tevere. From December 8th to January 6th, the municipality and its hamlets light up with initiatives designed to promote local traditions linked to the Christmas period and to experience a Christmas together, as the organizers say, 'kind and harmonious'.

Lights, markets, and nativity scenes

The town center and hamlets dress up for the holidays with artistic illuminations along the streets and trees decorated by kindergartens in the main squares. The Castello Bufalini, one of the architectural gems of the area, hosts Christmas markets and an exhibition of nativity scenes made by primary schools. Numerous events take place at the Cinema Teatro Astra, defined as a fundamental artistic hub of the municipality.

The living nativity scene of Celalba and the Magi processions

Among the most heartfelt events are the living nativity scene set up in the hamlet of Celalba and the processions of the Magi that animate the area during the holidays. The program involves schools, associations, and local businesses, confirming San Giustino as one of the liveliest Christmas destinations in the Valtiberina area of Umbria. The complete calendar is published on the official channels of the Municipality.
