THE CHRISTMAS STREET IN NAPLES & ITALIAN NATIVITY SCENES | San Gregorio Armeno | Vlogmas Day 3
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 2 окт 2024
- There is a street in the heart of Naples where it is always Christmas! San Gregorio Armeno sells Christmas decorations and specialises in the old Neapolitan tradition of presese building. Presepes are Christmas Nativity scenes. We came across the shop of Signor Aldo, who was incredibly kind and agreed to tell us all about the history of the presepe and what the individual elements symbolise.
You can find Aldo in his shop Alpa Presepe in via San Gregorio Armeno 14, Napoli.
On Facebook you can find him at: Presepieinarte

I’m glad you and Carlos decided to do this every day, it’s healing for some one with mobility issues who adores Italy.

A massive thumbs up! Presepes are a very nice tradition. Love Vlogmas.
Signor Aldo speaks with such knowledge and passion about his work and culture. Fascinating
I knew that naples was famous for making Presepe, but i didn't know there was a street dedicated to it open year round. Aldo, gave some interesting stories about some elements and figures in the Natvity Scene. these stories can be passed on to your children. Love it!

WOW!!! Thank you for this Incredible tour, great lessons to learn and a *huge thank you* to you and to Aldo. Loved hearing about the legend of St. Stephen. XO
Love this! The Nativity maker was extremely talented 👏 ... and we loved hearing about the symbolism.
Sure you bring us a lot of joy by showing the art of Italian crafts and particularly the Napolians. These nativities require a lot of patience and creativity.
I was mesmerised from start to finish the nativity street stepping back in time such wonder creativity love the history I’m slowly becoming Italian Thankyou Nickie and Carlo everywhere such a pleasure to watch your vlogmas Bellissimo my loves See you tomorrow😘😘😍😍❤️❤️👌👌
Just magical, thank you
I love Napoli I love the fact that Italian people preserve their traditions, culture with so much passion, joy and love. Thank you guys
What a sweet and gentle man was Aldo.
very cool!....loved it and love y'all
THAT WAS ABSOLUTELY FASCINATING! We saw some of these Nativity scenes in some museums in other parts of Italy, but I had no idea about the significance of the characters and the symbols represented. I LOVED the story of the girl who wrapped a stone and which was transformed into a baby, giving birth to the day of St Stephen, from stone to stone. Thank you enormously! 🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱
Ditto!
Che meraviglia! Quante stratificazioni di storie e tradizioni nel presepe napoletano!
I really enjoyed this video. Some years ago I was there in Naples and my friend brought me to the street you’re on. We called it Christmas Alley. I bought a lovely Nativity set with the Blessed Mother, Joseph and the baby Jesus in a cradle. I only recently discovered that my Nativity figures were made by a famous artist named Marco Frignerro. I have ordered an angel to add to my set. Thank you so much.
Love your channel. From South-Africa in a small town Bloemfontein
I have never laughed so hard during a history lesson. I will always remember "the pooper" doing his business at a Nativity Scene. I look forward to these videos each day upon my return from work. Thank you for producing such phenomenal content for all of us celebrating the season around the world!!!!
I loved this! I want a Caccagno (spelling?) and a lady pulling the basket of food up to her balcony now.
Thanks Nicki and Carlo…..what a wonderful place. The nativity scenes were incredible. What a talented and knowledgeable gentleman x
I’m loving this series and learning about the Italian traditions for Christmas. What a great idea! I love seeing the happiness that you and Carlo share with each other.
The amount of details that goes into the nativity scenes is absolutely amazing. I loved learning more about the symbolism behind them. The one with the man doing his business is hilarious. As always such a joy to watch. Those bloopers at the end, I’m the same way. I have what I’m going to say in the vlog and then when I go to speak nothing comes out 🤣🤣🤣
LOVED learning about the nativity. I love nativity scenes and the ones you showed us are amazing! Thank you both.
Love this!
Wow those nativity scenes are extraordinary!!
Thank you for sharing! Amazing!
Ketal pareja ke bonito los pesebres ke bonito el mercadillo ya esta aki la navidad. Un abrazo niki
We loved this! The history of the Presepe was fascinating. Loving your daily postings. Thank you.
The nativity scenes are beautiful! And so cleverly made. I can see why this is such a tradition! Thank you for this interesting video!

People should really appreciate these videos more, it’s incredible to be brought into a world far away from me, I love watching these videos, at times just listening. Thank you for making these videos for us all.
Beautiful story
The Nativities were so beautiful and the little figurines are so pretty . Thanks again for a great video
Thank you. 💕 Enjoyed your visit with Aldo. Fascinating. 🎄🇨🇦
Lovely history lesson and just beautiful craftsmanship 🥰
Saludos Nicky and carlo !!! ...muy bonitos los nacimientos... muy bien detallados...wowwww..❤....bellisimo!! Bendisiones...!
Loving this. Every day I visualise my home in Lake Como, I will have one day. 🙏😃
Lovely. Really like 'knowing why and from where everything comes'!!!!
I love your bloopers at the end from the wonderful and lively Naples.❤
Yes JOY to me everyday too 🕊🥰
What lovely traditions. You found the right man to explain this craft. They would make great gifts too. Till the next one. 😘
Yes Nicki Bella Napoli is so right....this was amazing to watch, beautiful creations. Thank you so much Nicki and Carlo 💚🇮🇹❤️
Signor Aldo does beautiful artistic works - it's probably very expensive also since it's all handmade.....now I could spend an entire day and then some in these Christmas shops you are videoing..... you are so blessed to have shops near you like these. ❤️❤️
As for Signor Aldo's "philosophies" - there are a lot of writings done by people who never lived in the time of Christ's birth and there are a few manuscripts done by person(s) who did live in the time of Christ's birth - I'm sure he has read some of them......Very interesting and the right time of year to visit these shops and to hear what he has to say. Makes a person delve into the true meaning of Christmas beyond what taught in religious studies.
I've enjoyed this vlogmas tremendously.
Another Brilliant magical bella place with you and Carlo …you two make life beautiful….⭐️⭐️
Ahh what an awesome trip through such beautiful shops.. soo fascinating to learn about all the Nativities.. and what a talented man who makes these fine works of art! I always feel so refreshed after seeing you and Carlo in these videos. Thank you so much! Just love you guys!
oh my I wish I had a nativity for my front porch. so pretty. 💜❤️💙
Wow! 💖 That was awesome ❣ thank you so much for taking us around! Greetings from South 🌍
Entertaining and educational! Great to hear from local shop owners; Aldo really is knowledgeable and a great storyteller!
Wow those Nativities were Beautiful! ❤️✝️and the Figures that Moved were so Cool 😎 👍💜
Hello Nicki Carlo sweetie 🤶🏻🎄🎅🏽very interesting 🧐 beautiful 🤩 lovely story 👍🏻
Thank you for always featuring artists and the stories behind the traditions (keeping them alive)! Your videos are beautiful and thoughtful and your storytelling is amazing.
This was a truly fascinating lesson on the artistry and history behind this craft. I have to say, as a Pilgrim, I found the pooping figurine quite an interesting moment to capture for a Pilgrim, and a moment that I experienced in the middle of the Pyrenees, with no cover, this past October 2021! (I did however find a low bush...) This 2022 I walk the Via Francigena- I will wave from afar. Thank you for taking us along.
Christmas is my favorite holiday of year. Not only for religious reasons but because just like in Italy, in Puerto Rico Christmas has rich and strong traditions. Thank you for sharing Buon Natale!!!
Oh wow. Loved the amazing xmas markets and the shops. Really enjoyed the history lesson too.😊
Thank you both! , I enjoyed learning about the beautiful nativity scenes! Even the pooper ,! 🤣😊🎄 God bless
I look forward to your daily episodes this month. I have learned some amazing things and enjoy you both immensely.

Very interesting!! Thank you for sharing this street with us!!🙂🍁
My birthday is 12 \ 26 .... the feast of Stephen - or Boxing Day .My adopted father was an Episcopalian priest - he would have loved that clerical drag .🌞
Loved this! Especially the detail of Nativity making. It is a wonderful idea to have Italian and English and subtitles, although your husband's english accent is also delightful.
I have learnt so much from your video. The Italian artists is Justin out of this world. I learnt a lot from a senior draughtsman named Alex dos Santos. A phenomenal artist. Thanks again.
What a treat today! Can’t help but fall in love with the nativity scenes.
Wow! What amazing nativity scenes. The work that must go into them. It was lovely listening to that nice gentleman explaining about the meaning of the characters and scenes. Carlo's l prefer the umbrella you had on the first vlogmas.
Wow, I loved this discovery of Naples and the explanation of the figures. Thank you for taking us with you,
I am from Malta and have to say we love presepe here. We have our own slightly different style but they're still massive with water features and little lights and figurines. I can't wait to set up mine, it's so much fun.
That was just what I needed today ! Did my heart good.
We loved this. Hubby and I have been along this street many times. The figures are amazing, it was really lovely finding out more of the history behind them. Thank you xx
This was an excellent video! I love seeing these beautiful Napoleon style nativity scenes. Thank you!!
WOW another lovely video. Thank you! I learnt so much and it was so enjoyable to watch. Hugs from South Africa and from Portugal.
I really enjoyed hearing the history from Mr. Aldo....when you showed 'the pooper'...oh my. lol. Thank you Nicki & Carlo :)
Signor Aldo: Made with wood and cork and fantasy and creativity.
Me: ❤ 💙 💜 💖 💗
