| A Lively Celebration of all things snake-like |
Got a Snake phobia? Then give the Feast Day of San
Domenico in Cocullo a miss - unless confronting your
fears is part of your therapy. On the host Thursday in
May, hundreds of snakes are caught in the woods
and carried back in sacks to the charming white-
stone village, transforming its streets into a Writhing
mass of snakes. The Serpari (a clan of snake
handlers unique to Cocullo) remove the fangs and
drape the snakes around their necks while a feast
Celebrates this event with snake-shaped sweets,
biscuits and breads.
