Alberona e i Fuochi di Sant'Antonio
ALBERONA – Ogni contrada un falò, ogni falò un tema e una forma diversa: la festa dei Fuochi di Sant’Antonio, lunedì 17 gennaio, metterà alla prova l’abilità e la creatività degli alberonesi. I grandi covoni di legna da ardere, alle ore 16, saranno sottoposti al giudizio di una giuria che deciderà quale sarà the 'fanoja' better prepared. At 17, the shingles will light up the country and the official start to the festival this year, also provides a path for wine tasting. You can taste the bread soup, rind, fried bacon, rind and all dishes based on pork. In addition to the taste of tradition and authenticity, the event will also offer the spectacle of jugglers, musicians, stilt walkers, jugglers and fire eaters passing through the village streets. The flag-waving, drums and trumpets of the group of Lucera Liu.Bo announce the start of the fires along with buskers from Molfetta. Visitors will be given a map that will guide them through the points where you can taste different dishes: the toasted bread with fried pork, pampanella of pork, pasta and turnips seasoned with bacon, fried pork, grilled pork, and finally, pork rind and beans . Last year, the bonfire the better player (the one who managed to win the best piece of pork in Piazza exposed Civetta) had the appearance of an Ape Car: a real three-wheel made entirely of wood. A tribute, between the sacred and the profane, the Italian design and the saint of the day, Anthony. Also this year, January 17 alberonese will be a tribute to tradition and flavors of earth with a touch of creativity.
one dedicated to St. Anthony Day is a very sensitive to Alberona, probably because of the still strong agricultural policy. Born in the third century AD, a hermit in the Egyptian desert, lived by choice in the company of animals only, patron saint of the latter, the fantasy of Sant'Antonio Abate peasant made a saint is closely linked to rural life and, in particular, recovery in agriculture. Among the ceremonial events that make up the festival, the most striking is certainly the ignition of fires. Several days before the anniversary, the town begins the collection of wood that is then stored in large stacks. The origin of these practices is related, probably the ancient belief that the intercession of the saint can cure shingles, the rash, also known as shingles, which causes itching and burning spread. The crackling of the flames is accompanied from the beginning of songs and dances, lasting until the extinction of the fire.
