On spring evenings in May, people meet to pray the Rosary; a manifestation of people’s devoutness but also a valuable opportunity for socialising. This also happens in a small chapel in the Dolomites of Val Badia. Fifty “Hail Marys” make up the Rosary.

EUSALP Award. What keeps me here

Ed. 2025

In a cultural context representing the idea of community and its preservation along with its traditions, Cincanta is an example of integrity. The church and care for the church through the ritual of prayer represent the heart of emotional and tenacious attachment to one's religious culture, without in any way disturbing the availability and universality of the message implied. The ritual of praying in the village chapel is open to everyone and invites reflection, in an almost secular manner. The sense of community and cross-over between different age groups becomes a symbol and defence of the identity and traditions of a community that does not surrender to a changing world.
