In the Sassi districts of Matera, the Living Nativity Scene returns for its XVI edition, entitled "Vera Fratellanza, 800 years since the birth into heaven of Saint Francis of Assisi".

The stage structures remain in place from 4 November 2026 to 7 January 2027, with information points and ticket offices active from 1 December 2026. Access to the representations is paid, with entrance tickets purchasable at the ticket offices set up in the Sassi.
