The representation of the nativity entered the culture of the Alps very early on. It has also been appreciated by master sculptors for centuries in Val Gardena. From this passion a style has developed that transfers the birth of Jesus to the mountains, home of artists and owners. The Comploj crib is part of this style, deliberately looking at the traditional representations of Val Gardena and welcoming the Infant Jesus into the alpine environment.
La rappresentazione della natività è entrata molto presto nella cultura delle Alpi. Anche in Val Gardena da secoli questa è apprezzata dai maestri scultori. Da questa passione si è sviluppato uno stile che trasferisce la nascita di Gesù fra le montagne, patria di artisti e proprietari. Rientra in questo stile il presepio Comploj, che volutamente guarda alle rappresentazioni tradizionali della Val Gardena e dà il benvenuto a Gesù Bambino nell'ambiente alpino.
