Franco Corbo, the priest at St Anne’s church in the southern city of Potenza in Basilicata, has created a nativity scene which has caused outrage with local inhabitants.
Mr Corbo has depicted the traditional nativity scene with Mary wearing a veil and the figures of Joseph and the shepherds are all wearing traditional Muslim clothing.
The walls of the traditional manger have been daubed with various slogans such as “Foreigners out”.
The scene is also split down the middle and divided into “Eastern” and “Western” sides.
The nativity scene has been seen as an act of provocation by local worshippers, according to local media reports.
However the priest had defended his decision, saying that he wanted to send a message saying ‘no’ to too many walls, either literally or symbolically, that prevented integration.
