The last Sunday of July in the characteristic hamlet of Croveo witches become the protagonists of an important historical and cultural event. The festival recalls the dark events of the period of the inquisition that, between 1500 and 1600, led to the burning of many women in the Ossola Valley, accused of practicing demonic rites for the mere fact of being skilled connoisseurs of mountain herbs.
The event is organized by the association “The witches of the Antigorio Valley”. In the program there are numerous demonstrations of ancient crafts, playful moments and workshops for young and old. On this occasion there are also shows and concerts, conferences, thematic walks, as well as tasty typical cuisine.
