A nativity in a walnut, a seashell, a coffee bean

Since 1995 the Tiscione family has been building miniature nativity scenes in Naples, set inside objects from nature and everyday life: a walnut, a seashell, a cork, a coffee bean. Every piece, figures included, is one of a kind, made and painted by hand, often from reclaimed materials.
