Byzantine New Year

This celebration for a thousand years was held on September 1st, which in the Byzantine period was considered the beginning of the year.
The last day of August in Amalfi it is held the Byzantine Empire Palio, with parades and jousting in medieval costumes. The next day in Atrani there is a representation of the handover to the new Duke.

“II fiore e la roccia. La grazia civettuola della Casa di via Nespoli l’asprezza inquietante della Terra Furoris. Ne esce vincente il grappolo di case appeso al cielo, sospeso, irreale come una favola. Da quassù puoi ascoltare il richiamo lontano delle Sirene. E inseguirne, incantato, oltre le cupole dei campanili, giù per le rupi a precipizio, il canto malizioso e intigrante. L’eco misteriosa si perde laggiù fra gli scogli, ove da sempre aleggia lo spirito errante di Ulisse. Terrazze a ricorrersi, quasi a protendersi verso il cielo, con l’ansia di perdersi nel vuoto. Scala degli angeli spezzata, tutta tesa a sottrarre il volo agli uccelli. La sapiente attenzione di Natalina, inimitabile vestale del dorato esilio, premurosa e avvolgente, si fa dolce melodia. E l’incanto è servito.”

– Raffaele Ferraioli
