Fontanarosa, il borgo della pietra e del Carro
Fontanarosa (AV)
Every 14 August a 28-metre obelisk of woven straw is dragged by oxen towards the Madonna, held upright by dozens of hemp ropes: a fragile giant that the whole village holds up with its bare hands. And the stone of Fontanarosa ended up in the Reggia di Caserta.
