In the sanctuary of the Madonna di Pierno, in the province of Potenza, a thousand metres above sea level, the celebrations of August 15th reveal archaic origins, which graft onto Catholicism the cult of the feminine divinities linked to the earth, the sowing and the harvest. The peasants, who come from far and wide, await this day by sleeping in the open.
