Tentavecchie

from friday 3 january 2025 to sunday 5 january 2025 in Gradoli, Viterbo


Tentavecchie

The tentavecchie are an ancient folk tradition. Every year the citizens of Gradoli get together to go through the streets of the village with all kinds of instruments to make a racket and scare away evil spirits, mainly using: pots and ladles, horns and any other object that makes noise. At the end of the event it is possible to taste the specialities of the village such as aleatico and tozzetti. On the last day, 5 January, the befana distributes socks with sweets to all the children present. It is a highly evocative tradition thanks to the dark and deep sound of the horns, which manages to evoke the roots of the tentavecchie tradition.
