MERRY CHRISTMAS, OMEGNA

(December 8^th 2012 – January 6^th 2013)

For Christmas 2012, FORUM OMEGNA hosted Sergio Viganò’s collection of nativity scenes, which includes more than 550 compositions. More than two hundreds visitors could experience the unique atmosphere of the nativity. Benefitting from the presence and contribution of several experts, the visitors had the chance to observe pieces of art coming from all over the world and discovering at the same time the technology and the materials involved in their construction.

Simultaneously and just some 300 metres away from FORUM OMEGNA, charming plastic models of miniature trains offered by several collectors were displayed at Parco della Fantasia’s “Ludoteca”. During this event, children – and grownups! -  had the opportunity to take part in creative workshopswhere they could build wagons, rails and train stations. Due to the incredible success of this experience, the management is considering repeating this event during Christmas 2013, with improvements and modifications.

Special thanks to “Società Sportiva Iride”, for their support in the organization of the event.
