These photos take us back in time in the small town of Mondovi, during the "party lever": a festival beautiful and unique, which has been passed over time and is still a custom in small countries, to celebrate the coming of age.
I ask my mother to tell me something that day and, as if by magic, his eyes smiling at the memory of his 20 years and the description is so precise that it seems to have spent little time ...
Once you come of age in 21 years, but the party was organized in 20 years " normal winter, the year before it ended, because then someone could already be called upon to do military service if he was born in early the year. " were the children of the country that organized the lever for them and the party lasted 2 / 3 days, and they were to invite their conscripts "we girls had nothing to do, but they were always very kind and on this occasion always gave us a rose or other flower. " The joy was preceded by the tension of the preparations because everything had to be perfect, a party that he would never forget due . For girls there was the choice of apparel " had to be beautiful in the eyes of children but also in the eyes of the villagers that they would look at and criticized: I had a nice blue dress ... I liked it so much I put that up to eat. "
It ACULTY Mass in the morning, celebrated for us, then lunch at noon, and afternoon dance party with an invitation extended to all the people of the country: "we used to dance to the Company working, there was dancing until evening and gave the girl who danced the best band of the lever. "
