''La Desolata'' Procession In Canosa Di Puglia - Holy Saturday Tradition In Southern Italy
The ''Desolata'' procession is a Holy Saturday ritual held annually in Canosa di Puglia, Italy. Women dressed in black, veiled and barefoot, walk in silence through the streets while singing ancient laments, evoking the sorrow of the Virgin Mary. This expression of popular faith takes place during the Easter celebrations on April 19, 2025. (Photo by Matteo Della Torre/NurPhoto)
