Trentino’s cribs

In Trentino cribs look back on a century-long history. This tradition of crib exhibitions comes to life during Advent thanks to several, fascinating initiatives

Crib tradition in Trentino plunges its roots in ancient times and is directly connected to wood handicraft, a widespread profession which is still practised in many areas, especially in the Val di Fiemme.

In the streets of Trentino's villages and forests living cribs as well as model cribs exhibitions are set up. The Nativity star is definitely the symbol of Christmas in Trentino.

Below you can find interesting projects dedicated to cribs and Christmas:
