Every December, the Hill of the Three Crosses lights up with a unique installation created in 1961 by <strong data-start=\"597\" data-end=\"615\">Mario Andreoli<\/strong> to honor a promise made to his father.<br data-start=\"654\" data-end=\"657\" \/>This installation is more than a Christmas display: it\u2019s a story of dedication, creativity, and deep love for the local territory.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"789\" data-end=\"1180\">Mario handcrafted more than <strong data-start=\"817\" data-end=\"840\">300 lighted figures<\/strong>, using recycled materials, electric wires, and a poetic vision capable of transforming an entire hillside into an enchanted landscape. Today, his work continues thanks to the <strong data-start=\"1016\" data-end=\"1055\">Manarola Nativity Scene Association<\/strong> and a team of volunteers who start in October to clean the terracing, repair the silhouettes, and test kilometers of lights.<\/p>\n<h4 data-start=\"1182\" data-end=\"1216\"><strong data-start=\"1185\" data-end=\"1216\">The story behind the lights<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p data-start=\"1217\" data-end=\"1452\">The Lighted Nativity Scene was never meant to be just a religious tradition. It was a personal act of love. As Eugenio Bordoni, a member of the association, often explains, Mario wanted to shape a dream and share it with the community.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"1454\" data-end=\"1853\">Anyone who looks at those lights today can feel it immediately: there\u2019s still a living soul behind this project. It\u2019s a blend of local memory, popular art, and landscape.<br data-start=\"1624\" data-end=\"1627\" \/>Every year, between December and January, hundreds of visitors stop to admire it. Some come for faith, others for the visual impact. Everyone feels the same emotion: a collective artwork that tells the story of a unique place.<\/p>\n<h4 data-start=\"1855\" data-end=\"1909\"><strong data-start=\"1858\" data-end=\"1909\">When to see the Manarola Lighted Nativity Scene<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p data-start=\"1910\" data-end=\"1960\">Here\u2019s what you need to know if you want to visit:<\/p>\n<ul data-start=\"1962\" data-end=\"2215\">\n<li data-start=\"1962\" data-end=\"2012\">\n<p data-start=\"1964\" data-end=\"2012\"><strong data-start=\"1964\" data-end=\"1986\">Official lighting:<\/strong> December 7th at 5:30 PM<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"2013\" data-end=\"2061\">\n<p data-start=\"2015\" data-end=\"2061\"><strong data-start=\"2015\" data-end=\"2034\">Fireworks show:<\/strong> during the opening event<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"2062\" data-end=\"2122\">\n<p data-start=\"2064\" data-end=\"2122\"><strong data-start=\"2064\" data-end=\"2083\">Display period:<\/strong> every evening until mid-January 2026<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"2123\" data-end=\"2215\">\n<p data-start=\"2125\" data-end=\"2145\"><strong data-start=\"2125\" data-end=\"2143\">Opening hours:<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul data-start=\"2148\" data-end=\"2215\">\n<li data-start=\"2148\" data-end=\"2182\">\n<p data-start=\"2150\" data-end=\"2182\">5:30 PM \u2013 10:00 PM on weekdays<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li data-start=\"2185\" data-end=\"2215\">\n<p data-start=\"2187\" data-end=\"2215\">until midnight on holidays<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h4 data-start=\"2217\" data-end=\"2259\"><strong data-start=\"2220\" data-end=\"2259\">Why you should see it at least once<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p data-start=\"2260\" data-end=\"2486\">The <strong data-start=\"2264\" data-end=\"2299\">Manarola Lighted Nativity Scene<\/strong> is an experience where art, community, and landscape come together.
