Cocullo, St. Dominic and the serparians: a unique religious rite

Today, since we cannot attend this fascinating celebration, we want to relive it with you with photos by Giancarlo Malandra and images retrieved by Cesidio Silla.
The Feast of the Serpari in Cocullo, celebrated on May 1 each year, commemorates the miracles performed by St. Dominic on his wanderings in the Sagittario Valley and has its roots in even earlier times.
