Naduri to display Neapolitan crib in Valletta [01/12/05]

A fully fledged Neapolitan crib will be set up in Valletta in the middle of next month, the first time that a crib of this type will grace the capital city. The internal courtyard of Palazzo Ferreria in Valletta, opposite the Opera House site, will serve as the backdrop for the creation of Naduri Fr Charles Vella. Fr Vella, who now lives in Valletta, had introduced the concept of the Neapolitan crib to Malta in 1996 and has been developing his work ever since. Last Christmas, a large Neapolitan crib featuring authentic 18th century figurines was on show in Victoria. Click here to read the entire story as published on The Times of Malta.
