Neapolitans take their Christmas nativity displays very seriously; it's a tradition that goes back centuries. This street is where they come to buy new heads and limbs, or to undertake major expansions. Ugo Esposito is a master of the art. He also produces hand-painted terracotta Pulcinellas, as well as various souls burning in the flames of Purgatory - a uniquely Neapolitan folk art.
