Title: Following the Comet
Town: Montemaggiore al Metauro
Date: 6th, 8th and 13th December 2015
No pilgrimage and no observatory from which to get lost in the immensity of the sky, but a different way to
draw attention to one of the many pre-Christmas events, somewhere between the sacred and the profane,
between religion and materialism. An appointment created in 1998 when the administrators of the City of
Montemaggiore al Metauro thought about a new initiative to promote the great mechanized crib made by
the parish priest, and at the same time to raise awareness of the historical town center. Something born as
a challenge to attract tourists and turned into a regular event with its 18th edition this year. "Following the
Comet" is a traditional Christmas market but it's important among the events of this period, being it one of
the first experiments of this kind in the hinterland of the province of Pesaro and Urbino. In these 18 years
so many offers and side events have been created around the traditional nucleus that the old town centre
of Montemaggiore is crowded by people coming for the most various reasons. Some people do not want to
miss the crib show: an event exciting children watching "puppets" moving, the day alternating with the
night, the running of water… Some people can not wait to find original ideas for their Christmas gifts, some
want to enjoy the mix of light and artistic projections, the many exhibitors with art objects, collectibles,
curiosities and handcrafts and some are tempted through the delicacies at the Proloco stands: chestnuts
and mulled wine, chocolate and biscuits, taverns open for lunch and dinner, stands for fast food with
flatbread, pizza and snacks and the Happy Christmas Hour with Beer "Prosit" accompanied by great music
until late in the evening. In short, Following the Comet in Montemaggiore means walking along a path
leading to know the beauty of the historical center, immersed in a wonderful winter landscape thanks to
the twinkling lights and animations.

Date: 6th, 8th December 2015
