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.

Unusual and impactful subject. The expressive and astonished eye of the burning puppet strikes and immediately captures the attention. The caption completes the picture very well. Excellent quality. Until next time
