Hello dear friends,
It is with immense pleasure that I make this post about the place I visited just yesterday. Currently, I find myself in Veneto, not in Tuscany, as I will likely celebrate Christmas Eve with some relatives who live near the city of Treviso. So, I took advantage of yesterday to explore this small village located in the province of Treviso called Mura.
The idea of this excursion came from my cousin, knowing how much I appreciate these small places. I wanted to visit this location to see the differences between the classic Tuscan villages and those found in Veneto. Mura is a very small village with about 500 inhabitants, but it is charming as it preserves a typical historical and traditional atmosphere. In my opinion, it is an ideal place to seek the authenticity that only such villages can convey. What I also found here is complete tranquility, something I really enjoy.
Moreover, I was very fortunate because during this Christmas season, an important Nativity scene exhibition takes place in this village, lasting until January. I always find it beautiful when these exhibitions originate from the community and are completely organized by the residents of the small village. I managed to take some photos, and I must say that these Nativity scenes are very artistic and, in some cases, quite original. They are placed in the streets and houses of the village, and as I mentioned, they were created by the villagers themselves. Some of them I liked a lot, especially the ones that are true wooden sculptures. You know how much I value art and creativity, and I would love to participate in creating one of these Nativity scenes, as you can represent the scene in any form of creativity.
If you have the opportunity, I recommend taking a stroll in this place, and the exhibition will be open until January 7th, so there's still plenty of time to visit. Meanwhile, I tried to share as many photos as possible of this beautiful exhibition that I enjoyed a lot. It's always something special and unique to make these discoveries.
In conclusion, I can say that I was truly fortunate to find this exhibition, which ultimately enhanced the beauty and authenticity of this village. Historically and artistically, it may not have had as much as some other villages I've seen in Tuscany, but this exhibition surely added that extra touch that should always be found in such places.
I hope you enjoyed the photos I shared. I tried my best to capture as much as possible. See you in my next post, where I'll share a religious place I visited during a guided tour, and I must say I really liked it. In the meantime, I already wish you happy holidays and a Merry Christmas.
