For those who do not know what the Mercu Scurot, source Wikipedia:
As part of the carnival events, deserves special mention a unique event in Europe: the so-called Mercu Scurot (literally dark Wednesday in Piedmontese language) or on Ash Wednesday.
While all the other carnivals of the Roman rite ends with Mardi Gras, the carnival borgosesiano lives his final act on the first day of Lent, to stage a long march with a sort of funeral carnival itself.
According to tradition, the event had its origin in the same year in which it was organized the first Carnival of Borgosesia: at the end of the event a group of managers and technicians to Aranco German residents, engaged in a woolen mill foon secondment few years ago by brothers Milan and Antongini dall'alsaziano Chumachen, the first nucleus of the future Factory Lane Borgosesia not resigned at the end of the holidays and decided, led by such Bomen the morning of Ash Wednesday, to celebrate the funeral of the Carnival . Apprestarono then a mock coffin on a wagon and, following the wagon dressed in elegant clothes used at the time in similar circumstances (usually a tailcoat), improvised a funeral procession through the village, with appropriate pauses in all the taverns encountered on the path. Per chi non sapesse cos'è il Mercu Scurot, fonte Wikipedia: Nell'ambito delle manifestazioni carnevalesche, merita una particolare citazione un evento unico in Europa: il cosiddetto Mercu Scurot (letteralmente in lingua piemontese Mercoledì oscuro), ovvero il Mercoledì delle Ceneri. Mentre tutti gli altri carnevali di rito romano terminano con il Martedì grasso, il carnevale borgosesiano vive il suo atto conclusivo nel primo giorno di Quaresima, per inscenare con un lungo corteo una sorta di funerale del carnevale stesso. Secondo la tradizione, la manifestazione ha avuto origine nello stesso anno in cui è stato organizzato il primo carnevale di Borgosesia: al termine della manifestazione un gruppo di dirigenti e tecnici tedeschi residenti ad Aranco, impegnati in un lanificio fondato pochi anni prima dai fratelli milanesi Antongini e dall'alsaziano Chumachen, primo nucleo della futura Manifattura Lane Borgosesia, non si rassegnarono alla fine delle feste e decisero, capitanati da tale Bomen, la mattina del Mercoledì delle Ceneri, di celebrare il funerale del carnevale. Apprestarono quindi una finta bara su un carro e, seguendo il carro vestiti con gli abiti eleganti usati all'epoca in simili circostanze (solitamente un frac), improvvisarono un corteo funebre per il paese, con opportune soste in tutte le osterie incontrate sul percorso. |

Thanks guys for visiting and for your comment. The Mercu Scurot for borgosesiani is a really important event, are many participants who dress and cape with cylinder to follow the procession through the streets of the town valsesiana and even now, as then, the wine literally flows in rivers. All the fun go wild dancing and joking in the street, there's a really riotous and meet the characters out of the ordinary.
For those wishing to see more pictures of the event: [URL =] flic.kr/s/aHsjU3i4Wi Grazie ragazzi per la visita e per il vostro commento. Il Mercu Scurot è per i borgosesiani un evento davvero importante, sono tantissimi i partecipanti che si vestono con cilindro e mantella per seguire il corteo che sfila per le vie della cittadina valsesiana ed anche oggi, come allora, il vino scorre letteralmente a fiumi. Tutti si lasciano andare al divertimento ballando e scherzando in strada, c'è un'atmosfera davvero goliardica e si incontrano personaggi fuori dal comune. |
