There’s a cave in Custonaci (in the province of Trapani) where, in the Christmas period, the Birth of Jesus Christ is celebrated. We are at Scurati, a rural hamlet, where locals (craftsmen, peasants, shepherds, women, children and men) become actors making us relive the everyday life of the past. The event reaches its culmination in the heart of the cave, with the representation of the Nativity. A truly unique experience worth visiting!
