Do like the locals do and gather to see the nativity scenes at Cattedrale di San Pietro and Palazzo d’Accursio, an annual local tradition. Wander through the streets and admire the decorations, maybe picking up affordable, handmade gifts and crafts from street side stalls that spring up in December.
