The mystery of the hooded faces, the procession of the Desolate along the walls, the march of the barefoot brethren until dawn, and the rhythm of the trozzula winding narrow cobbled streets. The rites of Holy Week are emotion, devotion, ancient tales of the peoples who have lived this land. Stories of Crusaders who passed through on their way to Jerusalem, Byzantines, Swabians, Angevins, Aragonese. The pilgrimage of the "pappamusci" of Francavilla Fontana, the songs of the Passion in griko in the Grecìa Salentina, the slow pace of the perduni of Taranto and Pulsano, the bbubbli bbubbli of Grottaglie and the rites of Ginosa in the evocative landscape of the ravines. Traditions that crisscross all of Apulia and indelibly mark the memory of those who live them, and that deserve to be discovered during Easter vacations in Salento.
