The nativity scene is a Christian tradition that traces its origins to St. Francis of Assisi, who was the first to realize it in 1223 in Greccio, near Rieti. Today there are thousands of representations of the Nativity in the world, not only in Catholic but also in other Christian Churches.

For fans of the genre, visit Umbria in this time of year is an event not to be missed: the deep religious roots of this rich region of the Saints (St. Francis, St. Rita, St. Clare, St. Benedict, St. Valentino and many others) mean that even the most remote villages rejoice their events with actors and actresses dressed in old, men engaged in fields have been lost, armed soldiers sword and wandering shepherds guarding their flock. Among the most famous living nativity in the region (there are about 40!) There are those of Armenzano, Marcella, Passignano sul Trasimeno, Castel San Gregorio d'Assisi, Petrignano, Allerona Parrano, Porano, Casacastalda and Perugia in the basement of Basilica of San Domenico.
