The costume of singing “Star” songs during Christmas is still performed in various places in the Alps. In Trentino this tradition is deep-rooted especially in two linguistic island: the Ladin one in Val di Fassa and the German one in Val dei Mocheni and in other Trentino valleys.
Five of these are presented in the research filmed in Mezzocorona, Luserna, Carisolo, Javrè and Pinzolo. The singers, one carrying the star made of coloured paper, cardboard and wood, go through the village singing Christmas carols handed down from generation to generation.
