Explosion Of The Quarantane In Ruvo Di Puglia

Workers prepare the quarantana in front of the Church of St. Dominic in Ruvo di Puglia before the explosion on April 9, 2023. On Easter Day, the "Quarantane," female-looking puppets symbolizing Lent, exploded in the skies of Ruvo di Puglia. It is a tradition that is renewed in other cities and towns in southern Italy: suspended from balconies or on squares or even, in small sizes, hung on the doors of houses, the Quarantane, in addition to symbolizing the period of penance that will end at Easter, perform, according to tradition, a salvific function because they are capable of driving away evil spirits.
