Maggio's festival is dedicated to San Giuliano's patron.
It is celebrated in Accettura at the Pentecost from the 13 may to 6 June after easter.
The festival consists in the union of two plants, a high trunk, symbolically of male sex and another of holly, of female sex. This was demolished the first in the Montepiano’s forest ,transported by well 50 yoke of oxen and the second in the Gallipoli Cognato’s forest transported to shoulder by boys for 15 Km with sounds and songs.
During stop the "accetturesi" offer the best of traditional cookery as "Crispe", "Caciocavalli","Ricotte" and very very so wine. Arrived in the afternoon when the 2 groups meet . This meeting simbolise the marriege and the fertility.
Who assist at this Festival can see at something truly magical. I was at this and I can assure you that it is very beautiful. The first time that I went I was suprised by the liveliness and firmness of this country.
Some man but also children go up this trunk very hight climbing at the top. These are very corageous! Is the very show to see. Now I go to Accettura always because I love this festival.
The girls and boys are very friendly and very nice.
I invite you to partecipate at least once at this event..You will be impressed.
