The art of nativity scenes reached its peak during the Baroque period, and more specifically in Naples, at that time one of the richest cities in Europe. The future Carlos III of Spain was a great lover of nativity scenes, and under his patronage a legion of artisans applied themselves to create sumptuous Nativity scenes, called presepi, mangers.
