After 3 weeks in Tuscany we are back in Cottanello!! It feels good to be here again, we have missed the people and the surroundings.
Yesterday we brought our lovely neighbour Liliana who is almost 80 to the Santa Messa in Castiglione near Cottanello. Every here and there there are special messes besides the usual Sunday mess, and most of the time, lots of people are coming. Italy is still a highly religious country.
After the mess the procession started where the holy Maria was transported down the street, along with the music of the band of Cottanello. After she got back to the church, they celebrated with a huge firework, followed by live music, pasta and porchetta and dancing.
A beautiful evening where almost the whole village and the surroundings are united.
