It did not happen in Naples. Yes, in fact, a visit to a View (permanente!) cribs occurred in Latin America, via Don Minzoni, 21, home to the crib PONTINA ASSOCIATION, www.presepisticapontina.it , an association of lovers ... the Birth of Art, which for more than thirteen years are dedicated to the development and dissemination of the culture of the crib, in the pons. The first contact with the president and some members now understand that there is the spirit that animates them is really what the passion for this art. Yes, we talk about craft, but not infrequently, the craftsmanship extends into true art. In addition to the passion demonstrated by the inability to keep for themselves the secrets of the trade (everything they do or learning is shared with anyone who wants to learn), the members show a remarkable desire to do and especially to remain independent (not a chance that you entrust the protection of St. Joseph and St. Francis of Assisi , more than that much more comfortable than any earthly ecclesiastical authority!). They love the cribs and want to share this passion. That's it. How? With a permanent exhibition, said, with art shows (not just at Christmas but at Easter) at various municipalities in the pons and above all organizing courses FREE craft crib, for anyone who wants to join. Truly a rarity in a world where manufacturing secrets are kept forever locked up! A small door, makes us enter a world quite fascinating and eye for detail and, above all, as "unexpected" in our city. What can I say? And 'perhaps appropriate to make a visit to soak in a scene that seems to view a thousand times and revised but still lives on a new vitality that is repeated every time. Even in cribs made by young craftsmen.
