Having seen the public strongly involved in the great mystery of the Faith, and gratified by the thousands of visitors, Carlo Castellini has worked even harder, developing and perfecting his collection, as we will see, and this has led him to build a gallery at his home for a permanent exhibition which can be visited throughout the year by telephoning to arrange a visit.

But let us see what Carlo Castellini’s great little museum of the crib scene has to offer. The first thing to say is that he has collected over 1000 crib scenes from 110 countries. Here is a list of the main countries of origin:
