Land of Canavese and Beyond

The exhibition Land of Canavese and Beyond. Fairytale Nativity Scenescurated by Giuse Scalvaoffers a unique experience in the evocative atmosphere of the 18th-century basilica of San Benigno Canavese and in the archaeological trail below, which houses the remains of the ancient Abbey of Fruttuaria. Here, contemporary crib art meets history, in a dialogue that enhances the Christmas tradition and local craftsmanship of Castellamonte and its surroundings. The cribs, made of ceramics by local artists, express the aesthetics and warmth of an art handed down from generation to generation, presenting enchanting details that reflect the culture and spirituality of the area. The works, with their unique shapes and delicate colours, blend in perfectly with the historical and archaeological context, creating a fascinating itinerary that leads visitors to relive stories and atmospheres of times gone by.
