Casacalenda -- La festa di San Giuseppe | | Date: Current | Notes: "La festa di San Giuseppe a particolarmente sentita a Casacalenda dove si cantano le litanie davanti agli altarini allestiti nelle case, si effettua la distribuzione del pane benedetto e si svolge il pranzo a base delle tradizionali tredici pietanze di magro che corrispondono ai tredici privilegi di San Giuseppe. Durante il banchetto atti e gesti rispecchiano un vero rito religioso. E' evidente la componente augurale di donare non per elemosina e di ricevere non per fame. Anche a San Giuseppe si accendono i falo con la distribuzione delle "zeppole" durante i canti e i tradizionali "girotondi" intorno ai fuochi."

Casacalenda, Molise, Italy | | Date: Current | Notes: My late uncle, Zio Piedro, used to boast that in our hometown of Casacalenda, people did not speak "Italian" they spoke "Casacalendese." In pre World War II Italy most people identified with their towns or villages first, and their country, second.

Casacalenda | | Date: Current | Notes: The fact that I was born in the Italian countryside has shaped who I am. Why this is so is a bit of mystery as I only lived there a few years. I suppose having parents who spent their youth trying to make a living off the land forged their identity, and in turn, mine.
