About the event
Join acclaimed photographer and lecturer Anita Sanseverino for a captivating presentation on the rich artistry and cultural history of the Neapolitan Presepe—a cherished Italian tradition that transcends the typical nativity scene.
More than just a depiction of the birth of Christ, the Presepe Napoletano reflects everyday Neapolitan life, blending faith, art, and local culture.
This remarkable art form flourished in the 18th century under the reign of King Carlo of Naples, who elevated it into a true expression of high art.
Through her stunning photography and personal stories, Anita will guide guests along Via San Gregorio Armeno—the famous street in Naples where artisans continue to craft these intricate figures and elaborate settings by hand. She will also explore how this beloved tradition has endured across generations, both in Italy and here in the United States, carried on by Italian families and communities.
