Natale a Bari 2025-2026

Bari is a welcoming city: it breathes with the sea, changes color with those who pass through it, and turns every arrival into an encounter. Under the sign of Saint Nicholas, the patron saint of Bari and a symbol of hospitality and generosity, a Christmas is born that brings people together, lights up relationships and chooses peace as the greatest gift. The mission of “Christmas Around the World” is to bring to life an authentic and inclusive Christmas, transforming the celebration into a bridge between cultures. The project enhances diversity through experiences and activities that bring people together, move them, and allow them to discover the world.
