Italian nativity scenes: world record for the heaviest Nativity scene from Schio

Presepe vivente di Schio

The small town of Schio in the province of Vicenza has created what could be the world’s heaviest nativity scene, in a gathering of people forming the montage. The town organises a live nativity scene every year to celebrate Christmas in Italy, and this year’s effort could enter the Guinness World Record list.

Any proceeds from the nativity scene and the world will be donated to the Doctors with Africa Cuamm association. You can see this live nativity scene again on January 6th, when Epiphany and La Befana is celebrated in Italy. For more information on the Schio nativity scene, see the eppi-Veneto site.
