During the period of the Christmas festivities, Sorrento acquires a somewhat particular atmosphere due to the religious fervour that pervades the souls of the Sorrentini, when they express the highest sentiment of the religious faith. This vortex of emotion is shown in the local Neapolitan tradition of crib making. In all the houses, offices and shops, it is possible to admire the reproduction of Christ’s nativity in all sizes and artistic genre.
