Healthy respect for tradition and genuine Miromagnum attended by:
- Today Last Sunday of the carnival celebration in the city of Rotonda, home of the Pollino National Park
- Tomorrow Monday fat to an ancient ritual that takes place in the spa town of Cassano called the Ionian Sea to the carousels of the pig. "
At first glance, this celebration may seem archaic, violent, incocepibile today, like the bullfights of bulls. In keeping with this assessment, we like to illustrate the spirit with which comes the ritual "Curri, Curri u Porcu.
The rite was born in the Middle Ages and was celebrated the last Monday of Carnival, in those days, the era of vassals and servants, the carnival was one of the few times when you "at the level." Moreover, the pig symbol of the carnival rappesentava simultaneously two sides of same coin: wealth / power, forcefully expressed in hubris everywhere from lords of the village.
The pig was one of the few treasures to which I could aspire to, especially in the past. It is true that our people still recall this saying: "n'ortu, nu porcu na Chirica rasa ti jinghi na casa" (a vegetable, pork, and a prelate who are a source of wealth for them at home. "
The luxury of a pig, was a luxury of a few, just the noble classes. The nobles in this occasion and this time only to keep open a pig (previously killed) and those of the Knights managed to cut his head with one blow would diventanto owner. In short, a sort of small "win for life" of the Middle Ages!
Perhaps after reading the symbolic meaning exists at the ceremony, the reader will be more lenient in judging the event! I wonder if a few thousand years, observing our behaviors (today) the player does not have the same question?
We carry the official description riprtata on the site of the town of Cassano to the Ionian:

We carry the official description riprtata on the site of the town of Cassano to the Ionian:
Some time ago, during the carnival, our population was attracted to a show, which today would seem barbaric and uncivilized, "u u curru purcu", namely "the joust of the pig."
At the end of the main street of the town was settled a long rope, across the board, which was hung a pig (already killed) with the head downwards .. Competitors, mule drivers and farmers, riding mules and horses, they initiate and begin to hit the pig's head until it fall. Who was declared winner, with a net and final blow, dropping the pig's head on the floor. The winner, as a tangible sign of victory, was between his teeth a piece of pig's ear and turning, accompanied by other people throughout the country. The tradition had been interrupted, but a few years this event was revived citizenship Cassano
you there!
