Climate activist Greta Thunberg is
the person of the year in one of the most famous 'presepi' or
nativity scenes in the Naples street of presepe makers, San
Gregorio Armeno in the ancient heart of the southern Italian
port city.
Award-winning artisan Genny Di Virgilio has depicted the
18-year-old Swede in her iconic yellow raincoat holding up the
now famous "Skolstrejk for klimatet" (School strike for climate)
placard.
"She is certainly one of the best-known people in the world, who
has succeeded in drawing into the streets hundreds of thousands
of people, asking governments to take action as soon as
possible, beyond chat, to defend the planet," said Di Virgilio.
Other statuettes of Thunberg featured in other presepe in the
street, which as usual was full of Christmas shopping throngs.
