Porto Recanati - The Coffin at Night

 

Since the Middle Ages in Porto Recanati takes place a picturesque procession of Good Friday, called “La Bara de Notte” (the Coffin at Night). A group of twelve barefoot fishermen, called "sciabegatti" (from "sciabega", meaning "fishing net" in dialect),carries the coffin in procession, through the stations of the Passion. The secret of the mounting of this five-meters-high wooden machine are kept by a single craftsman who hands them over the years.
