Among the more moving Calitrian traditions are those associated with the Lenten season.
These traditions, evidence of the popular all-absorbing empathy with the drama of the Passion, attained their fullest expression in ancient hymns that accompanied the statue of Christ along the ascent to the local Mt. Calvary (Monte Calvario).
Some of these chants were opportunely tape-recorded in the mid 70’s by Tonino Zabatta.
Unfortunately, owing to the inferior equipment used, the sound quality isn’t always the best; the audio is also compromised by background noises and the voices and comments of the crowd. Nonetheless, the tape gives us a very good idea of the complexities involved in these processions.
