At N'Albero on the Lungomare di Napoli, 'O cippo' and Sant'Antonio will light up among jugglers and acrobats!
Update: due to rain the event has been postponed to Friday 20th January 2017!
***
The Feast of Sant'Antonio Abate, or feast of Sant'Anuono, is an appointment that is celebrated at the beginning of each year and also in this one 17 20 January 2017 there will be many celebrations. TO Napoli, there will be a very special initiative on N'Albero and she was called cient 2.0, to indicate a variant closer to the legality of the traditional bonfire, typical of this party.
The stone, for those who do not know, is generally one column of flammable material which is set on fire as a moment of devotion and veneration of the saint, but the one used near N'Albero will consist of completely plant material and non-toxic. In fact, unfortunately in many municipalities of the province, but also in Naples, the bonfire is often created with objects found in the street or even with tires and other toxic things, causing damage both to the environment and to human health. For this reason, cippo 2.0 wants to be a way to honor tradition, but at the same time redeem it from this harmful and not very legal past.
In this way, the propitiatory rite for Sant'Antonio will be a feast for everyone and the bonfire, symbolically, will bid farewell to the old year by welcoming the new one, chasing away all the negativities that surround us.
The program on N'Albero will be full of events and will become a moment of aggregation for everyone.
All citizens are invited to bring their own dry saplings to facilitate the lighting of the bonfire.
2.0 Logus Program
On the beach of the Rotonda Diaz they will perform eaters, jugglers of bolas and a group that will propose popular music, waiting for the most surprising performance.
The most original event, in fact, will take place on one long cableway 70 meters hooked to the top of N'Albero at 31 meters high, on the terrace, and which will reach the cliff. It will be traveled by aerial dancer Marianna Moccia, hooked to a circle with 4 torches and will engage in surprising acrobatics on the music of Ars Nova. Initially the speed will be high, but as it slows down and the performance it will end with the lighting of the stone on the beach, where the cableway ends.
Finally, All participants will be offered a glass of wine of the Astronomy Cellars.
