Christmas in Farming
(24/25/26) December
At 6 km from Gualdo Tadino, along the Via Flaminia towards the south, there is Roveto, a picturesque village nestled on the slopes of the Apennines. Of ancient origins (there are traces in the historical record since 1100), it has always maintained a small size, which has encouraged a spirit of aggregation of its residents particularly intense, So much that in 700 gave birth to a Confraternity of the Rosary and Sacramento. The particular type of country and the collaborative spirit of the people favored the realization of an idea related to the nativity. A nativity scene with the central idea of representing the rural culture as it was until about the '50s, when he began the new era of industrial and technological development changed his habits and rhythms of life of those who worked the land. The singular nativity is realized on a stage as big as the entire village of fraction: houses, stables, workshops, become windows on many aspects of community life of the past. The school, carpentry, mill oil, wheat, maize, the blacksmith's forge, stables, milk processing and anything else that effectively evoke the life and rural culture of the early twentieth century.
