The project for the creation of this large nativity scene was born from an idea of our then-parish priest, Don Roberto, in the spring of 2012. Having found the trunks to sculpt the statues donated by the generosity of the villagers, the volunteers hurried to set up the first nativity scene in the churchyard of Carbonara for Christmas. It was a modest success that has grown year after year thanks to the ever-increasing number of statues, the renewed scenery, and the many visitors who came from various locations. This success, crowned in 2016 with the first prize at the Provincial Competition organized by Telenuovo, has provided an impetus to continue and develop this project that we believe is important for enhancing the Christmas tradition, a historical and religious event of the birth of Christ.
Particularly evocative in the evening, the nativity scene is always visible at any time, as it is located in the churchyard.
