From 13 December 2025 to 18 January 2026, the traditional artistic nativity scene returns to Piazza della Libertà in Gatteo Mare, created by the artist Marco Fantini and his family.
Mechanically animated, the work celebrates the Jubilee Year through the magic of the Nativity and evokes the origins of Gatteo Mare and the Rubicone River.
For this reason, the scene is set in the town of Sogliano, renowned for the springs of the historic river. Among the features reflecting the Romagna territory are the ancient Malatesta cheese-aging pits and the piadina baking molds from the village of Montetiffi.
The nativity also features figures such as the poets Giovanni Pascoli and Tonino Guerra, highlighting the strong connection to the local culture. The nativity scene is open to visitors every day, offering a unique experience of tradition, art, and the history of the region.
