arrivano per le varie messe al santuario e, dopo un’altra notte
passata all’aperto, rientrano accolti trionfalmente in paese.
Ogni compagnia elabora poi il proprio canto, che si mescola
alla preghiera e al vociare dei turisti sempre più numerosi.
The Pilgrimage to the Sanctuary of the Holy Trinity
The local pilgrimage takes place on 26 July.
A chapel was built in honour of S. Anne in the late 19th century,
very close to the main sanctuary. The pilgrimage is traditionally
undertaken on foot. The people of Roviano split into groups on
the afternoon of the 24th. Having walked all evening and
camped out on the mountains overnight, continuing their
journey the following morning, the pilgrims arrive for the
various services held at the sanctuary.
After another night spent outdoors, they return to the village for
a triumphant reception.
Each group writes its own chant, which mingles with the
prayers and voices of the tourists who arrive in growing
numbers.
