The Museo Etnografico di Arnosto, in the hamlet of the same name in Fuipiano Valle Imagna, hosts the nativity scene with which the crib maker Fulvio Pizzagalli reconstructs Pagafone, the hamlet swept down the valley by a landslide on 9 November 1976. Stone houses with stone-slab roofs, doorways, stables, haylofts, the little church and the mill become visible again in the model. The display can be visited from 6 December 2026 to 31 January 2027 and brings together the birth of Jesus and the rebirth of the lost hamlet, in an atmosphere of memory and Christmas. The inauguration is set for Sunday 6 December at the museum. The initiative is organised by the Pro Loco of Fuipiano Valle Imagna, which is collecting photographs, documents, postcards and stories about the hamlet and the landslide: the material will be exhibited at the museum alongside the nativity scene.
