Caleze e Cicce cuotte pe l'aneme re li muorte

Open in Google Maps 

From 31 October to 2 November, the Infopoint of Bovino, in Largo Infopoint, hosts "Caleze e Cicce cuotte pe l'aneme re li muorte", three days dedicated to the tradition of the Dead with workshops and tastings. The recurrence stems from a peasant custom: on the night between 1 and 2 November, the deceased return to visit their relatives and the gifts of the earth become symbols of affection. Quinces, pomegranates, serviceberries, walnuts, dried fruit and cooked wheat, the "cicce cuotte", are the ingredients of this tradition. The event is organised by the Pro Loco of Bovino with the Oratorio Beato Lucci. In the workshops, participants prepare their own traditional stocking with the materials provided, while in the tastings they sample the dishes of the feast. The activities are free and open to all.
