Precipio of Cembra

Antonio Nardon has been working on a huge Nativity scene since 1970. He has built thousands of details and moving parts, with dolls and creatures in several different scenes. Nardon still prepares them from nuts and pieces of wood found in the forest. He voluntarily shows his life work to visitors. Music is an essential part of the atmosphere of this mechanized miniature world.
