Description

Immerse yourself in the magical atmosphere of Christmas with the Matteo Nativity Scene, a majestic collection of 27 carved figurines that poetically narrate the Nativity scene. Each figure is a small masterpiece of sculpture: from the quiet Holy Family, surrounded by the loyalty of the ox and donkey, to the solemn arrival of the Three Wise Men and their camel, laden with gifts. The entire scene pulsates with life thanks to the shepherds, musical angels, and a myriad of animals depicted with touching detail.

The finish, meticulously hand-painted with pigments in warm and pastel tones, enhances the elaborate folds of the drapery and the serenity of the faces. The golden nuances, used for wings and precious details, give a touch of antique elegance. This nativity scene is entirely made of precious maple wood, crafted and finished in Val Gardena in sizes from 6 cm to 18 cm, ensuring a durable sculpture rich in artistic value that will be the protagonist of your Christmas for generations.
Detail & Meaning
The Matteo Nativity Scene, with its 27 characters, offers a profound iconographic and symbolic richness.
1) Iconographic and symbolic elements:
- Holy Family (Mary, Baby Jesus, Saint Joseph): Heart of the Nativity.
- Wise Men: Represent universal adoration and the revelation of Christ to the world.
- Ox and Donkey: Symbols of humility, poverty, and silent witnesses of the divine event.
- Shepherds and flock: The simplicity and humility of the first to welcome the Good News.
- Musician angels: Announce divine glory and the joy of birth.
- Camel driver and camel: The journey and exoticism of the Magi, their search for truth.
2) Religious meaning:
Each figure converges in the celebration of the Incarnation. The Holy Family embodies divine love and the humility of God who becomes man. The Magi symbolize the universality of the Christian message, while shepherds and animals recall the simplicity and acceptance of the most humble. The angels elevate the moment to a celestial event. The whole creates a visual narrative of salvation, inviting contemplation and faith.
Story
The Matteo Nativity scene, while not directly linked to a specific saint, evokes the figure of the evangelist Matthew. Saint Matthew, one of the twelve apostles, was a publican, tax collector, before being called by Jesus. His conversion is a powerful symbol of redemption and inclusion. Author of the first Gospel, Matthew narrates the genealogy of Jesus, his birth and the first years of his life, laying the foundations for the Nativity scene tradition. His feast day is celebrated on September 21.
