Granai della Memoria

Festivities and ceremonies

The archive contains the results of the research made by the Granaries team to further analyse anthropological issues about the festivity calendar, the cultural exchanges that took place throughout the years and the traditions that first survived industrialization, then globalization. It also investigates phenomena of ethnogenesis that created and recovered, thanks to few enthusiasts, traditions and ceremonies long forgotten, and reinvented them following the philological criteria that sometimes are not completely true to history. Archive realized by the University of Gastronomic Sciences and the University of Eastern Piedmont.
