A
Via San Gregorio Armeno
Naples is famous for its traditional presepi (nativity scenes) and Via San Gregorio Armeno is where locals come to buy theirs. The street heaves with artisan studios and shops where crib-makers craft an eclectic range of figurines and crib pieces, from gorgeous hand-carved baby saviours to celebrity caricatures. Popular after Silvio Berlusconi's election defeat was a figurine of the media mogul carrying his head and testicles on a platter.
