Premiati gli artigiani di San Gregorio Armeno.
“Questa mattina si è tenuta presso il Convento di San Lorenzo Maggiore, nella sala Sant’Antonio nel Cortile di p.zza San Gaetano, 316 la presentazione del libro ‘Happy Birthday Nativity Scene‘, con lo scrittore e giornalista Salvo Esposito, che dopo aver illustrato il suo libro partendo dal messaggio del Santo di Assisi lasciatoci la notte di Natale del 1223, a distanza di 800 anni abbiamo sottolineato la maestosità dei simboli di un presepe napoletano che è sempre più, non solo nelle case dei napoletani, ma in tutto il mondo! – declared the president of the Botteghe di San Gregorio Armeno, Vincenzo Capuano -.
We are truly happy to have been invited to this very important event, because they received the Ago d'Oro Praesepium Award, illustrious figures from the world of Neapolitan culture and food, but in particular many of the Botteghe of San Gregorio Armeno were awarded, from Ferrigno to Di Virgilio, from the Scuotto Brothers to Marco D'Auria, to Cristian Carpi, to other master craftsmen even myself. San Gregorio is a true symbol of Neapolitan nativity scene art, it is right to defend and enhance it as we are doing. In a few weeks the project of the school of nativity scene art of San Gregorio Armeno will start.
This year's award was created by the well-known ceramist from Caltagirone Bartolomeo Frazzetta, who created a plate where a stylized nativity scene is prominently displayed and Vesuvius can be admired in perspective. In addition to the former president of the Botteghe di San Gregorio Armeno, the current vice president of our association Serena d'Alessandro, who coordinated the award ceremony, were present, as well as a special thanks to Frate Domenico who hosted us for the event".
