Via San Gregorio Armeno, Street of Nativity Workshops in Naples, Italy
Pictures of shops, figures, and Christmas cribs

From Martha Bakerjian, About.com

Via San Gregorio Armeno, in the heart of Naples' old town, is often called the street of nativity workshops. Lining the narrow pedestrian street are artisan workshops making nativity scenes (presepe in Italian) and terra cotta figures. Tiny shops sell Christmas crib figures and souvenirs, with items ranging from very high quality to inexpensive.

Presepe, or nativity scenes, are an important part of Christmas in Italy. Via San Gregorio Armeno is one of the best places to buy Christmas cribs and figures for the presepe, which can be very elaborate and include more than just the basic nativity scene. Find out more about presepe in Italian Christmas Cribs and Nativity Scenes.

Enjoy our pictures of Via San Gregorio Armeno and the Nativity scene from Santa Chiara Church in the old town of Naples.
