On March 5, Mardi Gras, Bambun went again to Nerito di Crognaleto in order document the Heir, an itinerant and uncontrollable carnival ritual with cattle-men on the run, peasants in trouble, brothers and bishops blessing, a purebred “mammina” ( midwife), a shepherd declamating while on on horseback, the first male children of homes and host families, in a mocking, burlesque and friendly atmosphere. The group of participants crossed the village more than once before going to the heirs’ waiting. The Tramontana team produced a detailed documentation of the entire ritual articulation, with the collaboration of the Pro-Loco of Nerito and its inhabitants.
