There are many artistic crèches of great beauty to be enjoyed and also living crèches that are enacted in many towns.
The 'presepe' at Corciano is very special as the whole of the historical centre is lined with life-sized models of Three Kings, Baby Jesus and every medieval tradesmen you can think of. Also there is a typical products market.
