Oratory of St. Nicholas - Pedemonte (Z'Kantmud). sent on November 04, 2020 (11:34) by Massimo Schiavi. 67 comments, 1571 views. [retina]

Costruito nella prima metà del Quattrocento, l'Oratorio di San Nicolao, probabilmente fortemente danneggiato da una piena del Sesia che scorre poco lontano, venne ricostruita nel 1757. Si trova a Pedemonte, (Z'Kantmud in lingua walser), frazione di Alagna Valsesia (VC). Pedemonte è un villaggio costituito quasi esclusivamente da tipiche case walser ed è sede di un interessante museo della civiltà walser. Ogni anno, il 6 dicembre, giorno di S.Nicolao (in lingua walser: Sa' Miklosch), nella frazione la gente è tutta in festa. Si celebra la S. Messa, si mettono all'incanto le offerte dei fedeli, si distribuiscono le mele ai bambini, i quali si premurano anche di esporre una ciotola di legno sull'uscio di casa con un ciuffo di fieno. Nella notte infatti, passa S. Nicolao col suo asinello carico e a tutti lascia un dono.

Thank you Massimo, as well as the beautiful shot excellently composed with flowers in the foreground and the beautiful frescoed façade of the church, the history of waiser culture that you told and whose existence I did not know. I know the Ladin culture, the South Tyrolean culture, as minorities, including linguistic minorities, but I did not know about this other Alpine culture. It must be very charming on St. Nicholas' Day there!

Shooting with bright colors and well balanced in very beautiful places and (fortunately) not so well known.

I thank you very much for your very welcome comments !
I am very pleased to have contributed a little to the knowledge of these places and this civilization (walser). In Alagna Valsesia I believe that there are still two or three people who know how to speak this language that is a dare for us, but certain traditions remain and are still being lived.
A good day and a dear greeting to all of you!
Massimo :-)
