JESOLO SAND NATIVITY 2018

The City of Jesolo will celebrate the magic of Christmas with Jesolo Sand Nativity 2018. This year dedicated to the Stories of the Bible, the fascinating and enthralling sandmanger-scene attracts thousands of visitors from all over the world. The episodes narrated in the Bible are reproduced in exciting monumental sculptures such as the story of Adam and Eve, the first people on earth and their original sin, the wisdom of King Salomon, the courage of Davide against Goliath, the prophet Daniel, Moses and the 10 commandments, to end the itinerary with a glorious Nativity, the same that this year will be proposed in St. Peter’s Square- heart of Christianity. Every year, for its realisation, are involved some of the best sand sculptors at international level, masters in recreating the authentic Christmas spirit. The background of the sand sculptures  are perspective views painted by the American artist Damon Farmer, which immerse the visitors in the atmosphere of the period.
