Nadàl in famìa
An exhibition of nostalgic Christmas photographs from the 1930s to today,
rides on a vintage carousel,
old-fashioned children’s games at several times, a fairy-tale photo point, and the equally themed “Bibi’s Children’s Corner” in the museum gallery, as well as meet-and-greet events with St. Nicholas, St. Lucy, Santa Claus, magical elves, and Befana,
a gift corner at the museum entrance with handmade works by artists and creators,
workshops for wreaths, ornaments, candles, greeting cards, fritule, fioki, Christmas cookies, and Befana stockings,
lectures on Rovinj’s Christmas traditions and the painter Bruno Mascarelli,
traditional music concerts,
a sweet gastronomic offer in Batana House, infused with the aromas of the holidays,
a communal brunch on New Year’s Eve and a toast on New Year’s Day.
