SANNIO

Con la mietitura si celebrano in Campania i Riti di Grano e di Paglia

Arrivano dalla notte dei tempi, da quando gli agricoltori cominciarono a rendere grazie alle divinità della terra per l’esito dei raccolti. Diventarono vere e proprie feste comunitarie in epoca romana, nel pieno dell’estate, quando le bionde spighe donavano i loro frutti, irrinunciabile fonte di cibo.

SAMNITES AND PEOPLES FROM THE NORTH

The practice of the “Sacred Spring” marked the beginning of the new people, the Samnites. Originally Sabines, around the VII-VI century b.C, they travelled from their land in order to colonise new territories, southern most, along the Apennines.

THE RITES OF GUARDIA SANFRAMONDI

Every seven years and for seven days, from the Monday after the 15th of August until the following Sunday. The entire community of the medieval center of the Telesina Valley is mobilised to organize and animate the rites every seven years in honor of the Assumption of the Virgin Mary.

Pugliano is the mount of the Puri

The largest, descending to a depth of 185 meters, is the Puro delle Mele (Puro of the Apples). The smallest reaches 80 meters, is the only one that can be reached via a path of great attractiveness due to the beauty of the nature encountered there.
