ST. PETER'S SQUARE, VATICAN - 9 DECEMBER 2016: A Nativity scene by Gozitan (Maltese) artist Manwel Grech is seen here in St. Peter's Square at the Vatican on December 9th 2016.

The Nativity Scene measures 19 meters in width and features 17 statues dressed in traditional Maltese costumes as well as a replica of a traditional “Luzzu” Maltese boat.

For at least two centuries, churches in Rome have attracted visitors by setting up elaborate Nativity scenes, often with moving parts, flying comets and running water, thus leading to a nativity scene tourism in the Italian capital.
