For the occasion, with a steaming cup of mulled wine or Christmas tea offered by the Albergo Diffuso upon arrival in the square, a charming string of stars will gently light the way for visitors and accompany them as they enjoy all the activities on offer along the narrow streets.

In the afternoon, there is a special program at 3:00 p.m. Saturday is dedicated to children with \u201ccreate your own shaggy sheep,\u201d fairy tales for the little ones, and \u201cpagn ai \u00fcgh\u00e8tt\u201d straight from the wood-fired oven.

Corippo, the Corippo of Enchanted Nights, brings everyone together: residents, representatives of the diaspora, tourists, and even ancestors, as assured by a gentleman, descendant of a Corippo family, who said he was happy: \u201cYou have done a wonderful thing; our elders in the cemetery are smiling right now.\u201d We want to believe him and invite you to see for yourself.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n
