Cesenatico and the magical Christmas atmosphere

In Cesenatico you can find a unique nativity scene in Italy, Il Presepe della Marineria, a must-see for lovers of the magical Christmas atmosphere.
On the historical boats of the Maritime Museum, the nativity scene representing a sea village comes to life, where the protagonists are the 50 statues, true works of art, made with the typical materials of fishermen’s boats: wood, canvas, wax and the colours used in dyeing sails to distinguish the families of sailors.
This now traditional event has become an artistic and cultural heritage of extreme value for the entire city of Cesenatico and for the many visitors, who have always been fascinated by it.
A highly anticipated event is therefore the lighting ceremony of the 38th edition on Sunday 1 December 2024 at 5 p.m., when the Crib and the Christmas tree will be illuminated. The inauguration show will feature an aerial scenography of great visual impact with music, lights and video projections that will accompany the evolutions of dancers and acrobats suspended 20 metres above the ground.
