Where: carpineto-sinello
(Carpineto Sinello)
Genre: events    culture   wine and food   folklore   

If you are looking to get into the depths of the magic of Christmas, choose the village built on the slopes of Monte Sorbo for your holidays. With the hedgehog structure perched around the Norman Castle, the village owes its name to the Sinello river and the hornbeam wood, which descends towards the valley. Every Christmas the community sets up, house by house, the living nativity scene, working on ancient crafts, cooking traditional recipes and opening the doors to pilgrims. Let's live Christmas as it once was, when horses were around the houses and travelers were offered mulled wine. Everyone participates, even the children, innocent shepherds to whom Jesus was the first to listen and give importance. You will see the rich Wise King carving the stone, kneading the flour, weaving carpets and returning with the horses from the Castle in search of the good news. It is everyone's home, as Jesus would have liked, there are the armed guards, the humble washerwomen, the old carpenter and his young wife, aware that she belongs to the world.
