USA
A trip to see the Neapolitan Presepio, one of the finest miniature Nativity scenes of its
kind, is a Pittsburgh holiday tradition. More than 100 figures, created between 1700 and
1830 by Italian craftsmen, represent the Neapolitan concept of the Nativity in a richly
detailed panorama of 18th-century Neapolitan village life.
Framed by the magnificent
holiday trees while holiday music fills the air, the Presepio is sure to delight visitors of all
ages. Enjoy seasonal music presented in the Hall of Architecture by area performing
groups.
