1989-'90 the Peace Almost for game the speleologist Francesco Baldini realizes after all the first presepio to the well, entirely prepared by the Speleo Club Orvieto with some white silhouetteses drawn by the same Baldini.
1990-'91 The Firmament has been the second presepio of Francis Baldini, with a myriad of stars that you/they salivate from the fund of the Well of the it Extracts.
1991-'92 the Earth is The Sky The first presepio with three-dimensional figures [still not animate], you/he/she has represented in a certain sense the passage of the witness from Baldini to the family Sciarra. The verticality of the well proposed in the eternity dualism earth-sky, with Jesus's figure to do from through.
1992-'93 the Comet The message of hope arrives... from the depth, with an enormous star comet that climbs from the fund of the Well up to the manger.
1993-'94 the Family In the international year of the family, an unusual interpretation of this concept, from the sacred to the profane. You/he/she has been the first presepio prepared with self moving characters.
1994-'95 the Gifts Of the MAGIs Iniziano the preparations that also involve besides the well the surrounding caves. This year they are the Magis the true protagonists, with the rich simbologia of their gifts.
1995-'96 the Noises Of the Works Strange to cross him of sounds, from the recurrent noises of the daily actions of the shepherds to the sweet melody of the it lulls nanna of the Madonna. For the first time the characters of the presepio are of the animatronis realized with the techniques of the special effects used on the cinema sets. Curiosity: the Tg1 and the Tg2 give news of the presepio in the edition of the Christmas day.
1996-'97 the hospitality Of the Poor men seeks her historical it becomes the fulcrum of the presepio: habits, foods, suits, language and music are reconstructed with an almost maniacal rigor. The select theme for this preparation is almost provocative: we imagine that, in a Bethlehem people's stracolma, rich merchants, magi and travellers are forced to be entertained in the caves of the poor shepherds...
1997-'98 The Caravanserai For the law of Yaweh a giving birth is impure and therefore you/he/she cannot lodge in the rooms of a caravanserai, among the other people. This way the king of the world comes to the light in a manger, among the animals, the cammellieris, the cripples, the beggars, the not circumcised and all the others impure for the law of Israel. Curiosity: two characters called to lend the face for Joseph and Maria are not found of accord and they end to Forum, on Rete4, judged by the very famous Saints Licheri.
1998-'99 the angel [trilogy of the Jubilee] Him "historical" presepio of the decennial one, with an angel suspended to mezz'aria inside the well and the Nativity for the first time to the outside of the Well of the it Extracts, among the people. The faced theme pertained to the examination of the material life in Palestine of the year zero: we imagine to come in the caves of the shepherds in the few instants that spent between the birth of Jesus and the arrival of the angel... Only the visitor is still partecipe of three separate realities: the shepherds unaware intents to their daily matters, the materialization of an angel of the Lord and a birth in a normal family palestinese, in what was still one day as so many others... Curiosity: to the edition of the decennial one a whole documentary has been devoted turned for the transmission "Geo & geo."
1999-2000 SABBATH - the Jewish Saturday [trilogy of the Jubilee] And if Jesus had been born of Saturday? A pretext to travel in the strongest and ancient tradition of the religious life of the Hebrews of every time, between prayers and songs of thanks, among prohibitions to complete any type of job and exceptions to the rule of the rest, among which the possibility for a Jewish midwife to assist a giving birth and to massage its his/her child with the salt...
2000-2001 the Wandering Kings [trilogy of the Jubilee] On July 29 of 2007 years ago the stars they preannounced the birth of a great king to Bethlehem; some magis stirred from east to reach that foreign country, and they found the king in a manger... From this hypothetical astrological reconstruction of the date of birth of the Savior you/he/she has taken I sprout the preparation of the Christmas 2000, setting the accent on the intellectual life of Palestine of twenty centuries ago, and the event living from the point of view of the magis, in trip in a strange earth, in which it spoke Aramaic and it was prayed in Jewish, he/she was written in Greek and he/she was read in Latin. Curiosity: you/he/she has been the presepio of the scandal, of which the RAI is also interested for the audacious choice to show a naked breast of Maria in the action of the nursing.
2001-2002 The Market Bethlehem, year zero: a city besieged by the astrologers hastened for the star, from the people come to make to be recorded in the great universal census of the Roman empire, with the streets and the alleys turned into an impromptu market of every thing, and populated by the anxious and eccentric presences of magi, magicians, crippled, beggars, thievish, .e, a little far, a cave and of the whimpers Curiosity: you/he/she has also been the first presepio to taste, with the driven visits with tasting; the historical reconstruction has also interested the culinary aspects. A true success for the original idea.
2002-2003 SALOMÈs - the incredulous midwife In a minuscule and lost center of Palestine, in the scenery of the Promised Earth, among the quiet of a luxuriant nature surprisingly, a local midwife, named Salomè, hastened for assisting giving birth Maria, he/she doesn't believe in his/her virginity and he/she insists for verifying of person, but, not you just insert the fingers, its hand detaches him and falls to the ground among atrocious pains. Only repenting himself/herself/itself and grazing the suits of the Saint Child the unbeliever will have again his/her restored to health hand. Curiosity: you/he/she has been the edition that more has instigated the press and the public opinion, being the first presepio inspired to an Apocryphal Gospel [Giacomo's Protovangelo] -2-
2003-2004 the angel Reissue of the "historical" theme of the decennial one, with a preparation completely inserted in the great multilevel cave open to the public alone two months before. The presepio of the angel, completely renewed, you/he/she has marked a turn in the mangers of the Well of the it Extracts, marking a clean border between old mangers (distributed in the small caves of the first part of the run of visit of the well) and new mangers, prepared in an only multilevel cave to allow a great involvement of the spectator completely wound by the presepio. To appraise the pleasure of the most affectionate public, a sort of referendum had been predisposed, that has seen to triumph the new preparation, that also has the merit to leave the recoveries of the caves of the run enjoyable and well visible ipogeo of the Well of the it Extracts, up to the past years almost entirely occupied by the scenes of the presepio. Curiosity: you/he/she has been an edition with a very terrestrial Jesus Bambino: dark of skin, completely naked and with the attached umbilical cord still
2004-2005 BÉÈR - the well To the meticulous reconstruction of the daily life of Palestine of 2000 years ago you/he/she is placed side by side, in fact, a reinterpretazione of the Nativity completely mysticism and onirica. The select theme, "the Well" [Béèr in Jewish], understood as cosmic synthesis of sky, earth and it inferred, symbol of the abundance, of the fertile woman and of his/her/their bride, you/he/she has wanted to remember and to celebrate, in rather original way, the twenty-year one of the discovery of the Well of the Extracts, returned to the light, after centuries of silence, really in December of 1984. Curiosity: for the first time we have a sort of preface you/he/she has been created to the real presepio, using her first eight caves of the Well of the Extracts for introducing the theme with some characters inserted between the archaeological recoveries and the reliquaries of the finds
2005-2006 The Caravanserai - new edition to See cards on the theme of the year
SOME ANTICIPATION:
2006-2007 LILITHs - the first woman reissue, in the new cave, of the theme of the presepio of the Christmas '97 Lilith, narrates the legend of the Talmud and the Midrash Jewish, it was the first wife of Adamo. Created by the dust as him, him he rebelled because he/she didn't want to lie him subdued. This gesture cost her the exclusion from the Eden. The myth that reigns from the darkest meander of the time and that the most important religions have not even succeeded in defeating in the imaginary human you/he/she will be faced in the edition 2006-2007 of the Manger in the Well, and its terrestrial and demoniac creative strength will be defeated by the simplicity of a sedicenne that you/he/she has known how to answer to its God "Eccomis, are your handmaid."
