Cummitu

Banquet, banquet, takes place on 19 March, the day of St Joseph's Day. The tradition goes back a long way, to the years when wealthy, noble and powerful families, in devotion to St Joseph, opened their kitchens to the poor by offering them a hot dish made of a few ingredients from their fields. Over the years, when economic conditions permitted, there were many families, throughout the country, who, again in devotion to the Saint, offered lunch. Today, this tradition is looked after by the 'Don Francesco Leone' Social Centre and attracts many visitors.
