The sarcastic Neapolitan tragicomedy: a single people, in good times and bad

And even waste ended up in Naples in the manger!



Artists Craft of Naples, you know, when it comes to cribs do not pay attention to limitations. In the past we have used with statues of various kinds with the features of prominent personalities from politics, information and entertainment. This year, there would be many terracotta figurines to do, reinventing the pearls given to us by Silvio Berlusconi, the Neapolitan cribs seem to be themed on waste, just like what you see in these photos where the figurines are provided with masks and handkerchiefs to save the nose smells of garbage strewn on the streets of Naples.
And not only the teachers of St. Gregory, but also have themed school children raised and Neapolitan cribs are made of waste, bags, envelopes, boxes, cans, bottles and even newspaper clippings that recall the promises of superguido Bertolaso \u200b\u200band nano Berlusconi.





all the Christmas' A year
San Gregorio Armenian Christmas all year round. In all months, even in hot weather and Christmas is far away, the teachers are working to build the typical cork nativity and the shepherds in terraccotta. The atmosphere of San Gregorio Armeno begins to heat up in November but December is the month when the road is full of people at any time of day. Every teacher knows crib perfectly advise his client as to the meaning, the symbol and the use of any pastor. A

St Gregory the Nativity are crowded
Pastors need to be terracotta, being more malleable and flexible than the marble or stone, is better suited to make the soul of the pastor as well as its appearance. The artisans are very loyal Neapolitan crib ancient art but to keep pace with the times they had to accept that there is in a crib not only Mr. Punch with his wife Columbine, but also hosts, butchers and fishmongers who exhibit in baskets, buckets and baskets around the world fisheries and food in the city. A crib antique, classic, should consist of a few characters: the Child Jesus, Virgin Mary, St. Joseph, the donkey and the ox, and the ciaramellaro Magi. But they have other important figures such as Benin, who sleeps while waiting for the birth of the Holy Child, the hunter, beggar Monaco, the gypsy pagan, both hilarious and scribes Razzullo Sarchiapone, the legendary "academies," or beggars in knees wearing only a loincloth, and "half academies" that have just discovered the torso, who worship the Child and implore graces and blessings. Let's say then that the ten thousand other people who crowd the crib are strangers, but without these intruders art crib would never evolved so much. In the butcher's shop, for example, blood clots and entrails are painted a deep red very special and the lakes and seas have some really amazing shades of blue. All these subjects are mixed together and color make it a fresco of the nativity scene alive and realistic, of Naples, which still exists.
And this year could hardly miss them, "big" stars of the last time ... WASTE! : DDD
A witness to the conception of "philosophy" of life of these people, suffering and metabolism, as they say, "sa pa seize and shock-DDio"! Unique in the world for this great ability to with sarcastic irony to the "drama" that, unfortunately, lives!





SOME 'OF HISTORY

The characteristic way of poetic craft crib is Via San Gregorio Armeno.Questa road, known throughout the world, was that the audience nostriana because here, the fifteenth bishop of San Nostriano Naples, built the Spas for the poor. But the road is located in the region augustalis also assumes an important religious value because the Bishop Lamb built the first basilica - in the city dedicated to San Gennaro. This church is still seen today, albeit completely modified over the centuries. Among the other monuments is certainly well-deserved emphasis placed in the monastery of San Gregorio Armeno. On the history of this monastery, given the numerous changes to the original structure and the numerous annexations of monastic buildings, or parts of them, I recommend the reader to further investigation. The road has been for centuries the vitality that still characterizes it. This not only for the remarkable structures present throughout the its history, but also because key capable of connecting the true center of the ancient city (the area now identified in part with Piazza San Gaetano) with the main arteries (Via San Biagio dei Librai, via courts). A road used for centuries by every citizen napoletano.A these and other reasons it must be the concentration of artistic and commercial activities. It was here where the city's art culture flourished in the past the workshops of artists, painters, sculptors, silversmiths, carvers, gilders that with their skilled art made famous churches and palaces that still admired today. I said the cultural Naples because just think that a few steps from the street is Via San Biagio dei Booksellers. Here, in a building which has now also access the same via San Gregorio Armeno, a librarian was the birthplace of Giambattista Vico. Later, a few steps from Piazza San Domenico Maggiore, is a memorial tablet in the home of Francesco de Sanctis. Nearby are also Filomarino Palace, home of Benedict Croce.Ma artistic activities of the past, what is still left in Via San Gregorio Armeno beautiful? The honest answer is: very little. Without false modesty, I must point out, in the palace of Michele Tenore - founder of 'Orto Botanico di Napoli our shop that with a continuous activity of about two hundred years the Neapolitan school of sculpture and fine restoration. But what attracts more tourism is the flourishing production of pastors in terracotta. And here are Ferrigno, the Giannotti, the Maddaloni: tuttidi old family tradition. To give rise to this production of handicrafts were the first Association of Friends of the Neapolitan crib, then the company's Therapy Center of Naples, who was able to encourage with cash prizes and cultural activities. In recent years, greater attention must be approved by the City of Naples. In December, it's all a crib. Crowds of visitors, students from all over the world flock to this street that constantly seems to belong to the world of dreams. Prof. Antonio

GOOD CHRISTMAS!
