An animated reading and a creative workshop to introduce children aged 6 to 11 to the poetic fairy tale "Armuzze" by Alessia Franco and to the traditions linked to the feast of the Dead. The appointment is for Wednesday 28 October 2026, from 17:00 to 18:30, in the inner hall of the Castello Aragonese in Castro. With Ornella Ricchiuto, anthropologist and president of ORS APS, and with Liquilab (UNESCO NGO), we will talk about family memories and Salento and Sicilian traditions. Participants are asked to bring an object that belonged to an ancestor — a pipe, a handkerchief, a book, a small comb — to give the story a concrete trace. The initiative is promoted by the Pro Loco of Castro with the patronage of the Comune di Castro and is included by UNESCO in the International Day of Intangible Cultural Heritage. Places are limited to 20, with free admission and mandatory booking.
