A special night!

The White Night

In my town, Tolentino , each year on 21st June is celebrated “ La Notte Bianca”, “The White Night” that represents  the longest night in summer.  All the squares are crowded with young boys and girls, elders and many families. All the shops remain open for this event and streets  are filled with stall of candies, valuables and musical bands. In the center of the square, every year some girls usually make a comedy show about  fantasy or horror stories. The last summer they made a comedy about a really strange family and about their daily life. Everything goes on until 3 am.

The Contest of the Bucket

In the late Middle Ages, at Sant’ Elpidio a Mare, there was a shortage of water. So people invented a game: they had to participate in four quarter, each composed of six players. The winning quarter could be the first to drink from the pail.

From 1953 each second Sunday of August is celebrated this game: The Contest of Bucket. A procession, consisting of country folk that wear  vintage clothes, march along in the village’s roads, as for as the main square. When the contest takes place the quarters must hit the bucket, avoiding the adversaries.

Finally they keep the score of all match. The winner quarter will win a copper bucket.
