PITIGLIANO FROM 17 TO 19 MARZO 2012 - TORCIATA DI SAN GIUSEPPE

A very good time to be in Pitigliano is for the day of the "Torciata di San Giuseppe"(the torch festival of Saint Joseph, patron Saint of the town), when a very old ritual is repeated. People carry burning sheaves of reeds on their backs throungh the Vie Cave, wich are lit by torches. The celebrations end in the village main square, where the "Fire Ritual" takes place: a puppet representing the " l'invernacciu finito", the bad winter just passed, is burnt in a big fire and everybody greets the Spring which is just around the corner, in the hope that it will bring about health, wealth and prosperity.
