At the sanctuary of the Madonna di Pierno, in the province of Potenza, around a thousand metres above sea level, the celebrations on 15 August are of ancient origin, combining the cult of female deities linked to the earth, sowing and harvest with the Catholic religion. The farmers, who come from afar, prepare for the great day by sleeping out in the open.
