The Associazione I Cammini di Francesco in Emilia Romagna once again proposes an itinerary of nativity scenes along the Saint Francis Walk.
From December to 6 January, in Rimini, in the villages of the Marecchia Valley and at the Sanctuary of La Verna, numerous nativity scenes are on display in convents, fortresses, churches; ancient and modern; made by master nativity scene makers, nuns and friars, works of art or simple creations made by children.
