Culture

On November 30th, in the so-called Night of Sant'Andria , a ritual takes place in Bono, in which fathers and their children put human faces on hollowed out pumpkins and use them, lit by candles, to move through the streets of the city to pick up sweets to be requested from the residents. This ritual has existed for several hundred years.
