The perfect Christmas holiday Day Trip from Rome is a visit to the northern Lazio hill town, Greccio. It's a tiny little town but this year it's the central focus of the Christmas holiday season worldwide. Why? It's where Saint Francis of Assisi created the original Nativity Scene (Presepe in Italian) in 1223 exactly 800 years ago. My husband and I visit Greccio frequently, and have for many years: it's in the Sabine hills just above Contigliano where our family is from. If you decide to make a Day Trip to Greccio, I've got you covered with everything you need to know, including the best places to eat in the area. Have a listen to learn all about it…
