Traditions

“Travel, in the younger sort, is a part of education; in the elder, a part of experience“. Francis Bacon

These pages aim at describing all the peculiar Italian town festivals and feasts, the National folklore, the traditional habits and flavours, the local handicraft that you can find in each village and town. This site collects and suggests all the elements that structure the history of the Italian people together with its fundamental values such as: family, work and  social relationships.

Habits, art, customs, poetry, dance, represent an extremely valuable legacy that has to be fostered and disseminated. This website would like to recover ancient riches by understanding the present starting from the past to discover the real Italian roots in all the rites and feasts that take place every year all around this fantastic territory.

By discovering all the typical popular feasts and festivals it is possible also to learn ancient traditions and beliefs. The traditional feast of New Year’s day, of Christmas or Carnival are yearly recurrences that still now maintain some typical symbols of the Italian popular culture.
