[@martidee3305]

I’m glad you and Carlos decided to do this every day, it’s healing for some one with mobility issues who adores Italy.

[@siamgirl31]

Same here my friend, I will never be able to travel, I always feel like I’m actually there when I watch their videos.

[@paulorientetheluffaranch]

@@siamgirl31 Yes! It's wonderful that they've shared, so when we can't be there, we can still enjoy.

[@user-tt5xj5ib1e]

The man who builds all the nativity scenes was amazing, thank you for the great video :) 😍

[@saraha.3224]

Wow! That gentleman Aldo is such an artist and a craftsman!! So interesting to hear him talk and share!! Pls do more of these types of clogs: lives of different types of craftsmen in Napoli. Happy holidays!! 🤗🙏 And the mechanized work/labor figurines are amazing!!!

[@DIYDalia]

Bringing joy to my every day Nicki and Carlos! ❤️❤️

[@totallytania7978]

It's just Carlo....😉

[@Dave85262]

I knew that naples was famous for making Presepe, but i didn't know there was a street dedicated to it open year round. Aldo, gave some interesting stories about some elements and figures in the Natvity Scene. these stories can be passed on to your children. Love it!

[@evelyncortez8643]

The motorized woman ironing. So sweet! 🤧

[@christineevans8998]

THAT WAS ABSOLUTELY FASCINATING! We saw some of these Nativity scenes in some museums in other parts of Italy, but I had no idea about the significance of the characters and the symbols represented. I LOVED the story of the girl who wrapped a stone and which was transformed into a baby, giving birth to the day of St Stephen, from stone to stone. Thank you enormously! 🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱🇨🇱

[@carolburke9153]

Ditto!

Every-time I think you cant outdo the last video but you did! This one is fantastic!

[@SamFournier]

The amount of details that goes into the nativity scenes is absolutely amazing. I loved learning more about the symbolism behind them. The one with the man doing his business is hilarious. As always such a joy to watch. Those bloopers at the end, I’m the same way. I have what I’m going to say in the vlog and then when I go to speak nothing comes out 🤣🤣🤣

[@marystratton9769]

I have never laughed so hard during a history lesson. I will always remember "the pooper" doing his business at a Nativity Scene. I look forward to these videos each day upon my return from work. Thank you for producing such phenomenal content for all of us celebrating the season around the world!!!!

[@MyCricketGirl]

Wow. Signor Aldo is extremely talented. What beautiful work he does. I would loooooove to have one of his pieces of art. So full of knowledge as well. People really don’t take the time to stop and talk anymore to our older generations. We could learn so much from them. Thank you for taking the time to show us all his wonderful creations. I could listen to him all day while looking through his shop.

[@Ellierua]

Facinating! Aldo loves his work, such attention to detail.

[@cristinadowney7565]

[@lorrilewis2178]

Wow! I filed this under "You Learn Something New Every Day".

[@myhappynest6125]

I really enjoyed this video. Some years ago I was there in Naples and my friend brought me to the street you’re on. We called it Christmas Alley. I bought a lovely Nativity set with the Blessed Mother, Joseph and the baby Jesus in a cradle. I only recently discovered that my Nativity figures were made by a famous artist named Marco Frignerro. I have ordered an angel to add to my set. Thank you so much.

[@barber0611]

[@lezleyewen6907]

Thank you for taking the time and effort to show us these clips of Christmas in Italy. You are giving us a real insight to the local customs and traditions and such a delight to watch you two rather than a documentary, you bring it all to life! It's like watching two friends, thanks again for all your hard work.

[@judit1783]

I loved the nativity man's joy of making the structures and providing surprises or historical little stories within. Lovely!!

[@pile333]

Che meraviglia! Quante stratificazioni di storie e tradizioni nel presepe napoletano!

[@UniqueMechanics]

People should really appreciate these videos more, it’s incredible to be brought into a world far away from me, I love watching these videos, at times just listening. Thank you for making these videos for us all.

[@tutts0558]

Hi spent 2yrs in Naples 1983 to 85 while my husband was serving in the Royal navy working in NAVSOUTH . We lived in Bacoli. Every year I still put my nativity scene I bought in ' Christmas Alley" as we called at the time. Miss Napoli 😃

[@sheilamay5607]

Love that father and son shop keeper. His stories and passion for his craft are spectacular. I never knew this street existed and look forward to checking it out in 2023 💚🤍❤️

[@donafellows2313]

Thank you.. You've brought back so many memories from my 3 years stationed in Naples at the NATO base. I remember Christmas Alley well. I bought a precipe and enough characters and items to fill it out. This was in the late 1980's. We came back to the states in 1990. The lights only this year have started to give me trouble. Thank you so much for sharing.

[@gerrylopez5743]

That was fantastic. It’s like I was in Naples shopping with you guys.
