Bisceglie
During the Christmas period, Bisceglie's historic centre transforms into an evocative 18th-century setting thanks to the Presepe Vivente del '700 Napoletano (Living Nativity Scene of 18th-Century Naples), organised by the association Schára OdV.
The event offers visitors an immersion into 18th-century Naples, with more than 150 performers bringing to life scenes of everyday life, ancient trades and symbolic figures of the era.
Visitors can meet traditional figures such as merchants and bagpipe players, as well as symbolic characters like Pulcinella and "il Biscegliese", also known as "Don Pancrazio Cucuziello", who indissolubly links Bisceglie to Naples.
Bisceglie's Living Nativity Scene is a unique opportunity to relive the magic of Christmas through a faithful historical reconstruction, celebrating local cultural and religious traditions.
The entrance to the reenactment is located in Piazza Tre Santi; admission is free, and booking is recommended.
