We had an invite from cousin Isabella to come back to Lucca (neighborhood of San Concordio) to see a local holiday exhibition, but we begged off, feeling a little tired and also in need of doing some laundry. Later on, a failed trip for groceries (nearly everything was still closed) had us wandering down the road a bit to Camaiore. We had a nice walk there, managed to grab some coffee and some crepes, and fell into checking out some of the presepi the (nativity scenes) set up in various niches and churches around the village. There were a range of types, from children's assemblages to elaborate, animatronic villages with running water, sound effects, working villagers and day-to-night sequences.

Apparently there is quite a market in providing the means for these expressions: see www.presepi.com
