Synergy between museums and traditional-tourist events
Owing to the participation in the AdriaMuse project, the Province of Campobasso intends to initiate a number of culture promotions that can increase the number of tourists. The objective is to create a system of synergistic cooperation between museums and important traditional-tourist events. Such events are represented in true, real life, relating to emotions, tradition and history of local communities that almost always coincide with religious festivities. By animating myths and traditions they arouse a lively interest both from an anthropological view and tourist one as well.
In Campobasso, on the feast of Corpus Christi, the Sagra procession of the Mysteries takes place, and also a procession presenting the "inventions" of Master Di Zinno from the 18th century.
The festival of grapes in Riccia is reminiscent of the ancient grape harvesting tradition and cult of Bacchus, and represents giving thanks for nature's fruitfulness in the last stage of its productive cycle.
During the celebration of the town's patron saint in the towns San Martino, Ururi and Portocannone with communities of Albanian origin, the popular carresi are held, races with ox drawn carts.
In the town of Ielsi the feast day of St. Anne is celebrated as a Wheat Festival with a procession of big carts traglie carefully adorned with ears of wheat. In Termoli, the feast day of San Basso is celebrated with a procession at sea. Thus, the action "Museums beyond their walls" will incorporate representative elements from museums of our province in the mentioned traditional-tourist events. This will be achieved by organizing thematic traveling exhibitions organized to arouse interest of tourists, so that they may become the new potential museum visitors.
