Cesuna is preparing to welcome the festive rhythm of Schella Marzo, a traditional village festival that marks the end of winter and the beginning of spring. 

The event will be held on Sunday 30 March 2025: the meeting is set for 20:00 at the church square, starting at 20:15.

Participants are invited to bring with them "busoloti, snatare, bandoti and pignate", traditional and non-traditional instruments, which will be used to create a great noise in the streets of the town. This noise is not accidental, but has the symbolic objective of chasing away winter, with its long nights and cold, to make room for the rebirth that spring brings with it. It is a way to awaken the earth and its energies, welcoming the new season with joy and cheerfulness. 
Schella Marzo, in fact, is a ritual that has its roots in the ancient customs of the area, to celebrate a moment of passage, saying goodbye to the winter cold and a warm welcome to spring.

In the square of the station, a children's choir will animate the rest of the evening, which will culminate in the burning of the "old winter", a symbolic gesture that definitively seals the farewell to the cold season. Followed by hot drinks for everyone!

It will be an important moment of aggregation for the local community and for visitors eager to immerse themselves in the most authentic traditions of the Plateau of the 7 Municipalities.

Participation is open to all those who wish to share this special moment, in which the past meets the present in a celebration that warms the heart and prepares the spirit for the summer.
