The suitcase of dreams

Cantamaggio at Morro D’alba

The Cantamaggio is a ritual alms-begging song, celebrating the coming of spring and the new agricultural season, and representing a particularly ‘pagan’ expression of popular culture.

The ritual has its roots in pagan fertility rites, and spelled an omen of health and prosperity for the community. The lyrics of the Cantamaggio contain an invitation for the head of the household to offer food donations for the lunch of the ‘maggianti’, which concludes the festival. Those well reputed are invited to take part in the extraordinary final jig, a phenomenon exclusive to Le Marche.  

To mark the occasion of this traditional festival which takes place on the streets of Morro D’Alba, L’Hotel Shanti offers a weekend that will catapult you into the past, dancing and singing alongside our ancient choir.
