CANTAMAGGIO
In Terni, this festival of popular song celebrates for two weeks the arrival of spring and the beautiful days.
It is the festival of popular song that celebrates, a month late, the return of spring. The festival lasts for two weeks, until mid-May. The Maggiaioli, young men who carried the "maggio", a branch with yellow flowers and a lantern hanging at the end, passed in front of the house singing stornelli and received in exchange eggs, bread or money. The twig was then planted as a sign of prosperity. If you are in the vicinity of Terni, this festival is well worth a visit to celebrate the arrival of the good weather.
