Spacca Bari is the exhibition organized in the Apulian city to challenge the city of Naples.
Surely you all know the very famous Via San Gregorio Armeno, renowned street in the historic center of Naples, internationally known for the artisans who exhibit, at any time of the year, many goodies to buy as souvenirs or to be used for classic cribs or even a little out of the ordinary. But how many know that a Bari one has been held since 2006 large display of nativity scenes artistic, inspired by the most famous Neapolitan sister?
Well yes! This will be the ninth edition of the event called "Break Bari", Born a bit for fun from the stubbornness of a Bari craftsman, called Uncle Gino, who initially exhibited some nativity scenes made for private purposes, to become a real institution, managing to create an event that collects the artistic genius of many exhibitors, real nativity artists.
The event will take place starting from 6 December 2014 for a whole month, until the day of the Epiphany (6 January 2015) in the Murat Room in Piazza del Ferrarese, the nerve center of the Bari capital. On weekdays it will be open from 10.00 to 12.00 and in the afternoon from 19.00 to 22.00, while on holidays until 13.00 in the morning and until 23.00 in the evening. So next to the many Christmas markets scattered around the city, be sure to take a trip to this pleasant display of nativity scenes to feel even more the spirit of Advent and the end of the year.
If you are still not convinced I remind you that admission is totally free in full style and then we want to know which of the two events you prefer Spaccanapoli or Spaccabari? The Apulian capital will be able to be a worthy opponent of the famous Via San Gregorio Armeno. Obviously the challenge is really difficult but we know that those who take no risks don't win ...
Indeed, if you like to create nativity scenes, I remind you that there is still a few days to send your application to see your works exhibited in the important Murat room in Bari. In fact, since this cultural association from Bari has become a real reality as well as a protagonist of the city's Christmas, there are many artists of the genre who take it as a real showcase to show, and why not, sell their original works.
