The story

Cesenatico is a beautiful summer holiday resort, but in winter one of the most beautiful nativity scenes in the world is set up in its famous harbour (designed by the great Leonardo da Vinci)... and above all a unique one... about fifty statues on old boats that light up as evening falls and make the sight unforgettable..... We had a wonderful weekend... we stayed at the Hotel Villa Maria, which is open in this season too... It was very cold but it was worth it.... We also visited the seafaring nativity scene... my Luca was enchanted by all those boats.... it isn't huge as a museum but it's truly wonderful....
