The beginning of May, has always been a time for arboreal rites in the Roero.
From the pre-Christian period to the present day, the archaic custom of “piantè magg” has been maintained in San Rocco di Montaldo Roero and San Giuseppe di Sommariva Perno: here the pine tree becomes the protagonist of a great collective feast.
The May tree prepared, decorated and raised to the sky becomes an auspicious “arboreal medium” for the agricultural year, to promote the fertility of nature and life.
An archaic gesture of supernatural superstition, but also of hope and trust in nature, which knows how to guide us and behave.
