Poem Floating Nativity on the Navigli in Milan

On the Naviglio Grande in Milan until January 9th 2019 you can admire the Floating Nativity , the Nativity set in a floating scenography.
The set design includes the reconstruction of the Fundeghè (grocer), the Fruttiroeu (greengrocer), the Cervellee (delicatessen) and the Sciostree (charcoal).
The crib was organized by the Parish of Santa Maria delle Grazie at the Naviglio with the sponsorship of Urban Vision S.p.a. and was designed and realized by Luciano Bartoli (artist and set designer).

 Milan, my city 

This city produces and does not stop
as an industry of unexpressed dreams,
it makes travel, it is remembered
and it makes us say: "it's not always a party".

This city is gray, red, green
and the color of your skin ...
it is present to find, dance, love
and to live in a younger life.

An ancient promise is in the Navigli,
that in a seal of history, in art,
gushes among the barges and the locals.

This city is my big city,
that makes citizens for the world
and for all it is a home Milan.

Umberto F. M. Cefalà
