With the arrival of the holiday season at churches and oratories in Loano, numerous traditional nativity scenes have been set up.
Each recreation of the Nativity play is set in a scenic landscape. Alongside the canonical characters of the nativity scene are figures of popular characters and scenes of everyday life. Sometimes there are mechanical scenes.
Traditional nativity scenes have been set up at the Oratory of Our Lady of the Holy Rosary or “dei Turchini” in Piazza Italia (from December 8, 2025, to January 25, 2026); in the parish of St. Pius X in Via Bergamo (from December 24, 2025, to February 1, 2026); in the parish of Santa Maria Immacolata in Via dei Gazzi (from December 24, 2025, to February 1, 2026); in the oratory of San Giovanni Battista or ’dei Bianchi“ in Via Boragine (from December 6, 2025, to January 25, 2026); in the parish of San Giovanni Battista (from December 24, 2025, to February 2, 2026); at the convent of Monte Carmelo in Via Costino di Monte Carmelo (open all year round). An exhibition of nativity scenes will also be set up at Loa Park in Via delle Caselle from December 8.
By visiting the Nativity reconstructions set up in the city's parishes, chapels and oratories, it will be possible to trace a real itinerary to discover the architectural-religious riches of Loano.
