SUMMARY:Cappelle sul Tavo (Abruzzo): Palio of the Dancing Dolls
DESCRIPTION:To kick off ferragosto this friendly battle\, also called the Palio delle Pupe\, amongst 14 neighboring towns in Abruzzo puts on a show for spectators. Pupe are papier-mache lifesized dolls and are covered in fireworks. For over 40 years these dolls have a dance “battle” where representatives from the towns climb up inside the doll and perform a dance to folk music that was originally done in hopes of a fertile harvest.  What’s most impressive though\, is that the fireworks are going off as they perform! At the end of the dance\, the best doll and performance wins. \nDream of Italy is a membership website and award-winning travel publication publishing 170 issues since 2002.
