Adoration of the shepherds

The Nativity, hand modelled by Marcello Aversa from assembled terracotta elements, is placed at the foot of a dilapidated pagan temple, a symbol of the advent of a new religion, which arises from the ruins of paganism. The brick arches and opus reticulatum lead back to the archaeological excavations of Pompeii and to Villa Pollio Felice of Sorrento.
