In molti paesi d'Italia, sotto varie forme e vari nomi, in particolare alla fine dell'Estate, avvengono dei "Balli della Pupazza" (una figura generalmente femminile, di cartapesta, a cui poi viene dato fuoco). Si tratta, credo, di un antico rituale pagano propiziatorio (non penso abbia nulla a che fare con riminescenze del rogo delle streghe o simili), e a volte viene "inglobato" e "normalizzato" alla fine delle feste religiose. Qui siamo a Civita d'Antino (AQ), 24 Agosto 2025.

Nice photo! it reminds me of what they used to do in my area! (in my village they call it the dance of pantasima)

Thank you Gio, thank you Fabio!
Yes, it is similar, even the name recurs, Pantàsima or Pantàsema (in my country instead it is generically called "PUPAZZA").
