Image description

One of nine 25 metre high wooden obelisk weighing 3 tonnes is carried during at a traditional festival in honour of Saint Paolino, June 25. Twenty people climb onto each platform and each is carried by 140 people. The participants dance and sing to win prizes for the best and most beatiful obelisk. The tradition began 1400 years ago when Saint Paolino saved the small city of Nola, in southern Italy, from Turkish invaders and the people used to throw lilies on the streets to celebrate at end of June. In the 1800 the citizens of Nola changed tradition and started to build the obelisk. ML/WS
