In Rossano, as in lots of different elements of the world, we will say that we have now many common fairy story tales that fascinate kids and might be wonderful inspiration for cartoon scripts made by the nice Walt Disney.
Nonetheless, amongst many, Oscar has to go to the person who moms mentioned on the night of the Epiphany once they advised their sleeping kids that Befana can be handing out small items that night time, sharp and small at midnight. In passing, extraordinary wonders would occur. The truth is, the partitions of the home can be ricotta cheese and subsequently it was obligatory to stay quiet and calm, in any other case the constructing would collapse. And the strangeness of that night time wouldn’t finish with the partitions, as a result of it was as if by magic oil and wine would move from the taps as a substitute of water.
I have to say it was a very unusual night time, however the oddities weren’t restricted to those. They’re undoubtedly full with one that would develop into an anteliteram caricature: On the night time of the Epiphany, animals would begin speaking to one another like people. what does it imply? Discussing the masters and telling one another how they handled them, whether or not they had been properly cared for, whether or not they had been caring and sort to them. In that case, it was spent with prayers for the masters to remain in good well being and well-being. But when they had been by no means starved or mistreated, they’d curse them with their households. Because of this, on January 5, the animals had been cared for with each care and fed as they happy in order that they might say nothing however good issues about their house owners.
These night tales had been used to instill a peaceable worry of the night time in kids and to maintain them calm and quiet in mattress and peacefully ready for sleep to return, with out wanting too far and maybe seeing somebody put one thing down. into the sock organized subsequent to the mattress. And despite the fact that the neatest ones did their finest not to go to sleep and confirm what was happening at midnight, after a day’s play sleep overtook them, and they also wakened within the morning with the identical doubts and the identical. the curiosities they’ve earlier than mattress.
Behind each fairy story there’s a feeling, a narrative, a well-defined observe that reaches the hearts of the little ones, and this magical little story advised on the eve of the Epiphany carries many messages related with antiquity. Rossano’s folks traditions are the daughters of a folks’s historic and pure adjustments and historical knowledge who use easy parts of on a regular basis life to raise them into symbols of custom. There’s ricotta, a typical product of shepherds and the poor, there may be oil and wine that represents prosperity and happiness, and if they’re missing, it’s a signal of disappointment and poverty, lastly animals or nature that enters actually. equal dignity within the households of shepherds and peasants.
The tutorial parts of the story can’t be ignored both. Above all, respect for these animals, the fragility of earthly issues (ricotta partitions), data of the valuation of oil and wine, are helpful property for the weak economic system of the time.
Lastly, in an age the place neither tv nor different mass media exist, the story has pedagogical worth because it turns into a mediator with exterior actuality and reaffirms the social worth of the mom as herald. .
