The event, in full compliance with anti-Covid regulations and therefore in a reduced form, will still take place this year, as a symbol of rebirth and hope. The appointment is from 20 December to 6 January 2021, when the stone-paved streets of the village, and the ancient squares, will come alive with reproductions in wood (and not only) of the nativity. The whole town, for the occasion, is festively decorated, with adults recycled wood Christmas trees created by the artisans of the country, lights, wreaths and Christmas compositions. The nativity scenes are made not only by artisans and artists, but also by the inhabitants of Sutrio, who display them in front of their homes, on the windowsills, in the niches of the walls.

The most evocative piece of the event is certainly the Nativity scene of Teno, a true masterpiece of craftsmanship (and patience), created in thirty years by Gaudenzio Straulino (1905-1988), a local master craftsman. Exhibited in an old town house, it reproduces in miniature the traditional uses and customs of the village, which are animated thanks to a series of mechanical gears, with the alternation of day and night, the figures in motion, the water in the streams.
