The joy of the Nativity (La gioia del Presepe) scene warms the streets of Roveré della Luna and arrived at the Gentile Polo Art Studio!
Until January 5, 2010 the warmth of the Alpine tradition and the imagination of the families of Roveré della Luna (Tn, IT) will brighten up the visitor with the Nativity set up along the streets and gardens of the village.
The local Gentile Polo Art Studio also enthusiastically took part in the splendid initiative proposed by the Pro Loco, offering a personalized Nativity.
The nativity scene set up by the artist Gentile Polo develops against the background of a personal portrait of the Rotaliana plain and also blends some pieces made by hand into the setting.
The artwork that forms the backdrop to the Gentile Polo art Studio Nativity is a historical framework created in 2010 for the traveling artistic project “La via Claudia Augusta from 46 d.c. to 2046 "which touched various Italian, German and Austrian cities. Made of acrylic on glass, the work "Towards the Claudia Augusta road" portrays the Rotaliana plain towards the so-called "Salorno Gate" and fits perfectly with the spirit of Christmas in the square of Roveré della Luna.
