At this point, though, other masks appear - the angels guarding the resurrected Christ defeat the devils, so that the Son can meet his Mother. Good triumphs over Evil as Christ has triumphed over Death 3/?

Happy Easter from the "easter devils" in Prizzi, Sicily 😈 During this peculiar easter tradition, two people dressed ad devils (in red) and one dressed as Death (in yellow) dance around town making pranks and causing mischief...until statues of Jesus and Mary are paraded in the streets 1/?

When Easter comes, the dolls are set aflame, signalling the end of Lent and the purification of the penitents' souls. In certain towns, this is also accompanied by the parading of a statue of Christ after his resurrection.

The Quarantana, identified as the "wife of Carnevale", is a doll representing an old woman dressed in black, holding a spindle and an orange pierced by seven chicken feathers. These dolls hung over the streets starting from Shrove Tuesday all the way to Easter.

We're well into Lent, the 40-days period of (supposed) penance and meditation preceding Easter. There are many Lent traditions in Italy, but the most bizarre-and fascinating-is that of the Quarantane,"invading" the streets of many Apulian towns. A short 🧵 about them!

I've officially started drafting my cozy YA project! To celebrate, let me share some of the pics I took in Locorotondo and Martina Franca, two beautiful Apulian towns that heavily inspired the setting! 🙌

But the survivors gave us precious testimonies of their time in the Resistance - a memory that we should hold dear. Gifting mimosa flowers to women today has become a mindless gesture, but it shouldn't be. We should remember what those flowers mean. And never stop fighting against oppression.

The staffette moved by bycicle or on foot, travelling for many miles. They were unarmed, alone, trying to travel undetected. The stigma that view women harmless at the time helped, but even so, many fell to the nazis and fascists and were victims of horrible violence.

The staffette, mostly women but also young boys, were pivotal for the Resistance. They were tasked with the dangerous but fundamental job of delivering messages and exchanging information between the various brigades, thus ensuring their coordination.

Happy #IWD! In Italy, we gift mimosa flowers to women today. But why? The flower was chosen as a symbol by antifascist Rita Montagnana and Teresa Mattei, because it was the same flower partisan fighters gifted to the "staffette" - the women who delivered messages for the Resistance. A 🧵 about them!

Masks symbolizing chaos are a constant in Carnevale celebrations around Italy, as well as the "good" masks fighting them. Other examples are L'Urs of the Carnevale in Satriano (Basilicata), or s’Urzu from the Carnevale in Austis (Sardinia again), or the "Diavolo" of Tufara (Molise, in picture).

Another mask from this Carnevale is "L'Ursë" --a man clothed in animal skin and fur, it symbolizes evil and chaos, and during the festivity it is tied and beaten in a way that is reminescent of the way the ancients represented the myth of creation (Order sprouting from Chaos).

Another, less famous but equally interesting, Carnevale is that of Alessandria del Carretto, in Calabria. Here, masks called Połëcënellë Biellë flood the streets announced by bells and music. They dance and interact using their canes, gestures that are supposed to bring good luck.

The most famous of Italian Carnevale-related traditions are undoubtly the Sardinian ones. In the Carnevale di Mamoiada, traditional masks called Mamuthones (left) and Issohadores (right) parade around the town, staging a sort of ritual

These days, in Italy, we celebrate Carnevale! The streets are flooded with colorful floats, people wearing all sort of costumes, and kids eating frittelle and chiacchiere. So here's a thread exploring the ancient roots of this heartfelt festivity, and some of its most interesting traditions 🧵
