The 5 Senses Christmas Crib is the result of a collaboration between two enthusiasts, Créa Calame and Maurice Bianchi. This nativity scene is characterised by its constant evolution, with the main characters coming to life, creating a dynamic presentation. It engages all the senses, encouraging visitors to observe, hear, touch, smell and even taste the elements that make up the scene. Thanks to its immersive, multi-sensory approach, this unique creation has already captured the hearts of tens of thousands of visitors in recent editions.
