Sulmona - Enzo Mosca's masterpiece crib / Un presepe senza rivali
Enzo Mosca's crib, though not included in the contest, was the most admired of the 120 cribs on show in the Casa Santa dell'Annunziata, Sulmona. Covering 10 square meters, it is formed of hundreds of small statues, all carved in wood and painted by hand, all caught in some moment of the peasant's everyday life. The first prize goes to Giovanni Di Giulio (Tocco Da Casauria) who made a cross-section of the place, the second to Salvatore Maggio (Roma) for his scenery and costumes, and the third is split between Vincenzo Pettinella (Pescara) and the Scuola Media Capograssi, Sulmona.
