It is considered the most magical night of the year, that of Saint John the Baptist, with cults and spells that mingle under the light of the stars. Tomorrow evening, according to tradition, the events linked to the magical night of San Giovanni will take place in the archaeological area of Tamuli, with an event conceived and organized by the Esedra cooperative, which attracts hundreds of people from all over the island.
It begins with an excursion to collect magical herbs, where visitors will be accompanied on a journey back in time, which will follow with a dance for San Giovanni. «It is perhaps the most unforgettable night of the year - writes the Esedra cooperative - where cults and spells mix under the light of the stars and where it is possible to see pagan survivals of great importance».
They are rites as old as time, curated by the Crogiuolo-fucina theatre, La Vetreria. The ritual of "S'Abba Muda" follows, which dominates the sacred night, to grant wishes. There will be the bonfire of San Giovanni, with the traditional fire jump, which seals relationships of friendship or love. At the end the tasting of the typical dish of San Giovanni. These are ancient and pagan ceremonies that always keep their charm intact.
