Celebration and holiday in Tordandrea

    The castle's most important holidays, linked to religious holidays and who involved the entire population, were those of St. Bernardino, parish's patron; of St. Rocco and St. Sebastiano, protectors from the plague, frequent disease of the medieval age. At the end of fifteenth century, in St. Bernardino's holiday (may, 20 ), the Tower Council used to elect a Capitain with an Ensign and fifteen soldiers for the purpose of having a party with gun fires. The biggest costs were for "to eat and to drink".
