Delta del Po

The Segavecchia Festival is one of the oldest and most heartfelt festivals in Romagna, an event that combines tradition, folklore and fun for the whole family.

According to legend, a woman broke the Lenten fast by eating meat on a Thursday, symbolically becoming responsible for the evils of the agricultural season. Hence the figure of the 'Old Woman', the protagonist of the festival, who is burnt in a large bonfire as a propitiatory rite of passage towards spring.
