Description:

This video exhibition offers an immersive glimpse into the Good Friday Historical Re-enactment in Fossato di Vico, a living tradition that has been preserved by the local community for more than sixty years. Through moving images, viewers can experience the atmosphere, emotions and community participation that define one of the village’s most significant cultural events.

Filmed within the medieval streets and squares of Fossato di Vico, the video captures key moments of the re-enactment, including the Last Supper, the Trial before Pilate, the Crucifixion and other scenes portraying the Passion of Christ. It also highlights the dedication of local volunteers whose commitment ensures the continuity of this important expression of intangible cultural heritage.

More than a record of an annual event, the video demonstrates how traditions connect generations, strengthen local identity and preserve the unique Sense of Place of Fossato di Vico. By sharing this living heritage through audiovisual storytelling, the exhibition invites audiences to discover the cultural values, history and community spirit that continue to shape the village today.

The video was shared by the contributing organisation, Pro Loco Fossato di Vico, as part of its contribution to the #ASenseofEU Digital Collection, helping to preserve and promote this living cultural tradition for wider audiences.
