The Living Nativity in Ispica is one of the most fascinating living nativity scenes in Italy and is the most visited in Sicily. The ancient caves and the suggestive panorama of Cava Ispica and Parco Forza serve as the backdrop for this nativity scene. In this nativity scene the artisan traditions of the Sicilian south east revive, intertwined with the biblical events of the adoration of the shepherds, the birth of Jesus, and the arrival of the Magi.
The living nativity scene of Cava d'Ispica unfolds along an itinerary that from the historical center of Ispica reaches the archaeological area of ​​the Quarries where over one hundred figures in costume tell scenes of pastoral and peasant life. The caves are transformed into workshops of artisans: carters, coopers, carpenters, tailors, embroiderers, farriers and even an ancient eighteenth-century oil mill begins to work again as it did hundreds of years ago.
