The Great History of
Parata dei Turchi
Figures, characters, sections take part in a compelling story.
Three epochs that trace a path of almost a thousand years.
A story that mixes with tradition, faith with myth and legend.
Origins still hidden in the mystery, many stories that intertwine over the centuries.
A great popular festival, unique in its kind.
