Ittiri and its historic center, which in recent months has been the subject of a real artistic restyling, is ready to host one of the most anticipated historical events, linked to the ancient wedding rite of the 50s. The Itifallico Association, which has accepted the challenge of the Istiga Association, the creator of the original project and which has worked meticulously to stage all the various phases of this rite, is ready to let the Ittiresi and all visitors relive, on October 13, one of the most engaging moments that the community shared in that era.

“S'affidu”, in Sardinian “The wedding”, was considered a real event, with a demanding ritual that began with the presentation of the future spouses by “Su tratadore” who arranged “su coju”, introduced the families and prepared the engaged couple for their union. And from this meeting, all the phases of the ritual that included the engagement began, and all the steps to prepare the house and married life, from the carding of the wool to fill the mattress of the spouses' house, the tasseling of the cushions, the preparation of the sweets, the baskets and all the trousseau. Via Monserrato and Via Gelsi, have been in the past months and will very soon be, the scene of the great event.

There are several preliminary steps that will lead to the meeting of the future spouses: the bride's dressing by the women of the bride's families and friends, the relatives of the spouses will go to pick up the guests from their homes to take them to the wedding; the blessing of the spouses by their respective families; the groom's procession where the groom will be accompanied by the men of the family with friends and guests who will head towards the bride's house; the blessing of the spouses at the bride's house who will receive the joint blessing from their respective parents, then the Wedding Procession will start and will arrive at the church of San Francesco for the blessing, and at the end it will continue towards the spouses' house where the Wedding Party will be held. The relatives will entertain the guests with "Su tratamentu" based on Sweets and Rosoliu. The private wedding lunch and 50's dances will follow, without forgetting the suggestive atmosphere that will be enriched, along the wedding procession, by the presence of vintage cars thanks to the Il Volante Association.
