Can Shoulder Blade Pain Cause Heart Palpitations

the Neapolitan crib eighteenth century.

The Neapolitan crib is a maximum value of religious art in the eighteenth century.
born shepherds and shepherdess who wear the costumes of the time as a reference to the interest for the simple life of the fields, a feeling of a benevolent nature and charming romantic image of the humble, healthy and innocent, as opposed to the upper classes, who frequented the agitated life of the courts in a civil society that is now too full.
The announcement of the angels is focused on some ruinous hut, animated by sheep, goats and cattle in wide variety of attitudes, and quaint cottages and miserable, with a strong characterization intent to various occupations, from butcher to cobbler, fishmonger from the seller of fruits and vegetables, which often leads the red flesh of watermelon broken.
The Nativity is the center of the composition cribs carefully throughout the Baroque, placed in the shelter of thatched roofs and beams placed between crumbling ruins of temples, where nestles a luxuriant wild vegetation , symbol of the end of the ancient world and the advent of a new world, the hope of a better place.

(The pictures here are taken from the famous crib reproposed Cucinotta, which owes its name to the donor Michele Cucinotta, a passionate collector of objects and pastors of the eighteenth century Neapolitan Nativity scene).
