The Intermittency of Masquerading Rituals as a Marker of Political Change
Traditional masquerading at carnival time and similar traditional occasions speaks the language of unbroken continuity through time and is generally perceived as a straight line from time immemorial to the present day. At closer quarters, however, it becomes apparent that most, if not all, masquerading traditions are marked by a considerable intermittency with frequent interruptions often lasting whole decades. A comparative outlook at a few masq…

This interview discusses the book We the Spirits, by award-winning photographer Jason Gardner, published in 2024 by GOST Books.

The Pastoral Writings of the Fiemme Valley (1650–1950): Lapidary vs. Extemporaneous Expressions
Climate Factors And Shepherds’ Graffiti In Northern Italy: An Investigation Through Dendrochronology
"Adio Pastori!". Ethics and Aesthetics of an Alphabetized Pastoral Subculture: The case of fiemme in the Eastern Alps (1680-1940)
In the recent past the slopes of Mount Cornon were subject to intensive use in a local economy based on forestry, tillage and grazing. Down through the centuries the shepherds working in the area left thousands of inscriptions on the rock using red ochre. The writings specifically make use of alphabetic signs and numbers in a significant display of the sheperds' acquired ability to write. In this context, the recurrent "tag"-like format of the sh…
Materialized identities on the 'hidden frontier: Ethnographic museum policies in the Italian Tyrol
The establishment of a large museum focusing on local identity is influenced by many aspects of the current political scenario, deeply affecting the general orientation and intended meaning of its exhibits. Such has been the case for the Museo degli Usi e Costumi della Gente Trentina, founded in 1968 by the ethnographer Giuseppe Šebesta, and based in the vicinity of Cole and Wolf's celebrated and much contended 'hidden frontier' between Germanic …

Extemporaneous Oral Poetry in Central Italy
A TRADITION of improvized oral poetry is still relatively widespread in the rural areas of the Tyrrenic side of Central Italy.' This tradition, not very well documented in the specialized literature, is based on the metre of the classic Italian chivalric epic poems, an eight-line stanza called the ottava rima ('octave rhyme'), as a canvas for improvizing poetry, in what is usually referred to as canto a poeta or canto a braccio ('song by the poet…
