It's so much fun that they do it a few times over, and sometimes change costumes so the Tollo defenders can have their share of fun, too. It represents the invasion of the Turks in 1566, led by Pialy Pasha of the Ottoman Empire. The Turks had made their way along the western Italian coast from the north, conquering each town along the way, until they reached Tollo where they were finally vanquished. After 3 days of fighting, legend has it that an angel appeared from above, sent by a supernatural Madonna, imploring the fighters to stop, which they did. A young girl dressed as an angel has the honor or being that sent from heaven, appearing at the top of the specially-made tower to reign peace.The festival occurs on the first Sunday in August, at Piazza Umberto (in front of the main church).EASTER: PASSION OF THE CHRIST PERFORMANCE: A Romanesque open-air amphitheatre overlooking the valley and sea is the host setting of this magnificent local production with professional direction, lighting, sound, and effects. Detailing Christ's life from the Last Supper to the Crucifixion, it is a beautiful and moving experience even if your understanding of the Italian language is limited. The production is free, occurs on the Thursday evening of Holy Week, and lasts about three hours. Expect the start time to be later than posted. There is a small parking lot across from the amphitheatre, which is a 1/2 block away from city center, Piazza della Liberazione.PROCESSION OF THE SYMBOLS (procesione dei symboli): This Good Friday evening procession starts after mass at the main church, and proceeds slowly up and down the streets through town. It is led by a person covered in a pointed white hat and gown carrying the cross, followed by those carrying poles with the various symbols of Christ's crucifixion (hammer, nails, sponge, spear, pincers, cup, whip, etc), next a statue of Jesus lying on a coffin platform covered in a white gauze carried by pallbearers, then the priests and their entourage, then those carrying the crown of thorns and a regal crown, a statue of Mary covered in black with a black lace veil, the Honorable Society of Mary, (about 15 women dressed like Mary in black with long black lace veils, then a band of Italian accordions and guitars (nice to see that both older adults and teenagers were playing the accordions), then the procession. The stations of the cross were said by the priests, with megaphones, and along the street corners of Tollo, each of the 14 stations was laid out with either a cross with candles next to it, or the cross made out of candles in the middle of the street. Rhythmic chanting of the station, the crowd responses, and accompanied song, the procession includes those of all ages, including baby carriages and toddlers carried on daddy's shoulders. Along the street people had put out red candles to light the way, along curbs, balconies, and patios. It was beautiful and religious experience.
