While many people think of Christmas in Rome, going to the small towns and Christmas markets in Umbria or Tuscany during the Christmas season can be a rewarding experience for the whole family. Visitors will find artisan crafts and small shops where they can buy unique gifts, many family-oriented traditional events to enjoy without huge crowds, and unique sights like the world's biggest electric Christmas tree above Gubbio or an artisan mechanical presepe (nativity display). You can even see the place where Saint Francis is said to have created the first living nativity pageant.
