Loves and Witchcraft in the Seventeenth Century: the case of the castellan of Verrucole

20 August 2024

1 minute

We point out the event scheduled in Vibbiana di San Romano in Garfagnana on August 23rd at 21:00.
With the opportunity to spend an evening together in the village, talking about one of those stories that were told in winter, in front of the fireplace, we will rediscover from the seventeenth-century trial acts the figure of one of our local Manzonian Don Rodrigo, and of all the characters, who really existed, victims or accomplices of the commander of the castle below the town.
The organizers believe that this event can also be a way to rediscover the common thread between the families, still existing on site, their collective memory, and the descendants of the emigrants who have maintained, or still have to rediscover, the popular culture from which they come.
In addition, by popular demand of the many descendants of emigrants abroad, to reconstruct an evening “in veglio” in this Year of Italian Roots in the World, it will be possible to follow the Facebook live broadcast on the profile of the organizers of the event: https://www.facebook.com/amici.fortezzadelleverrucole
