Oriental and Other Festivals in Turin

Turin is a capital of cultural events and you can find a bit of all kinds of entertaining there. Last two weeks it hosted a bouquet of folkloristic festivals. They all were in Lingotto. We visited it a week ago and could enjoy the area and emotions of this great feast.  On my photos, you can see some moments of three festivals: Orient, Irish and American.

Orient was the most various so as it's culture is. We could see Japanese katanas, yoga exercises, Induist dances, dervish dance...

It was interesting to pass from one shed to other and throw into the completely different world. Personally, I was most impressed by Irish music (and beer). It was particularly interesting for me because I study the ancient history of north Italy and expansion of the Celtic populations in all the Europe. So, those who live in north Italy and Irish have the same ancestors. They have to have the same seeds in their souls :-)

It was interesting to notice how changed the interested, but reserved visitors of the Oriental Festival to cheerful and playful once when they entered the Irish shed. Or those were different audiences? I don't know, sincerely. I began to dance with them when I entered there. Some excellent beer and good grill meat completed the state of joy and participation. 

I have to say you that the Irish bands were very very brave and famous.

The last part was dedicated to the world-known symbols of USA. Even if the title was Wild West, what you could see there, remembered surely 50th-60th. 

Really interesting and full of emotions day. 

I'm not sure, but I think, such festivals are just a tradition in Italy: I remember, they were in Naples one year ago.
