In the first weekend of September, today, you can assist a very interesting representation of this important for the Abbey event, when you can see all the residents of the village Corpo di Cava that was built to serve the necessities of monks and pilgrims showing not only the event but the style of live of the population at the time when Normanns ruled the region.
Flag flyers show their art, trombonieri (trumpet players) and jugglers, and -clear- many many tasty things fruits of this earth.
If you are interested to visit the Abbey, you can contact me (liudmila-@hotmail.it) or directly the guides of Badia (Abbey -www.badiadicava.it). You can stay one day or more there or in one of the B&B-s or other structures of the zone. Write me and I'll help you to plan your trip in Italy.
The photos are kindly offered by the guides of Badia di Cava dei Tirreni.
The pictures look like they come from a history book. It is medieval all right!
ReplyDeletedefinitely going to save the info here, if given a chance to visit there. i might give it a try
ReplyDeleteI think, they used history bboks to create them, Footiam, and seems did them really good. The problem is (I think so) that knowbody knows about this feast.

ReplyDeleteThis is as real as it gets !
I have always wondered how it
feels like living in medieval
times where the Popes reigned
and ladies and knights roamed
the lands. :)
There would be much fun and
gaiety with harp music in the
air and beautiful sceneries in
the background :)
No doubt it would be an interesting
experience ....
The real life was not so romantic as we think, I guess, but the modern medieval feasts are surely interesting to see, to partecipate. I was not at this feast a year ago, but the feast of this yeasr, Millennium of the Abbey, will be spectacular.
