The Convito

tipologia
16 mm - HMILACNIN-0006
Year
1953
Italian Postcards
processions
party
traditions
village
Starting 1780 the memory relives, devotedly to St. Nicolò deemed the maker of the miracle, when a boat filled with rice solved a terrible famine clutching the hamlet. The celebration, of pagan origins, develops with two different processions that later come together as one, and finally the ?Convito? (a meal consumed together) takes place. It happens very unregularly, since it can take place again not before five years and not later than fifty. This film is a document of the 1953 ?Convito?. The previous one had happened twenty years earlier, while the following one took place only in 1969.
