Torciata di San Giuseppe March – Pitigliano
In the period of March the town of Pitigliano dresses up with a celebration that originates in the pre-Christian tradition that is the Torciata di San Giuseppe. It is a rite that wants to wish, through fire, that the harvest for the new year is plentiful and thriving. It was in the Middle Ages that the rite was associated with the day on which St. Joseph is celebrated, and it is since then that this celebration falls on this day.
