This festival is dedicated to the ancient forms of popular music, especially the ones that were handed down without the use of writing (UNESCO intangible cultural heritage).
The purpose of this festival is to comprehend the meaning in current contexts.
Meetings, exhibitions on traditional cultures, musicians and storytellers move around the streets and courtyards, transformed into inns where local families cook traditional dishes.
Impromptu groups of minstrels and musicians gather in the streets, improvising songs and performing traditional dances, including “saltarello”, “monferrina“ and “furlana“.
