The ancient Neapolitan nativity scene art of the 18th and 19th centuries is appreciated throughout the world, always arousing great passions which have given rise to very important and famous collections, some of which are also present in museums.
In the eighteenth century in Naples, international delegations visiting the Bourbons gave the sovereigns extraordinary gifts which were then imitated, due to their beauty, in the artistic figures created by nativity art workshops. In addition to offering a unique vision of the society of the city of Naples in the 18th century, the Campanian artists and the masters of the workshops who created the figures of the nativity scenes were able to give vent to their creativity, leaving us testimonies on the customs of the time and the human particularities of those times.
