The "Brindisi in Miniatura: The Magic of Christmas" exhibition will be inaugurated on December 18 at 7:00 PM at the Corte degli Artigiani (former Scuole Pie, via Tarantini 33).
Exhibited Works
On display are eight wooden miniatures, including the Teatro Verdi, the Torre dell’Orologio, the Monumento al Marinaio, the Colonne Romane, the Fontane Tancredi and delle Ancore, the Tempio di San Giovanni al Sepolcro, and the Cathedral. A completely new addition is the Santa Maria del Casale, one of Brindisi’s most beloved monuments.
Setup and Opening Hours
Each miniature is crafted with meticulous attention to detail, enhanced by a scenographic setup using lights and prints to showcase every creation.
The exhibition is open daily from 10:00 AM to 12:30 PM and from 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM, until Epiphany. Holiday hours and updates will be announced through official channels.
The Artist
Master carpenter Cosimo Di Giulio, age 84, is the soul of this project. His artistry transforms wood into a living testament of Brindisi’s history. Passed down through generations of carpenters, this talent now thrives during the most magical time of the year, Christmas in Brindisi.
