I segni della Passione – the exhibition: an event to keep the "passion" for traditions alive

2021 is the year of the restart, the year in which that light at the end of the tunnel, which we have been waiting for so long during 2020, becomes more and more concrete. We are confident that 2022 will bring us back to our normal life. But, until then, we members of the Actus Tragicus Association of Forio have strongly wanted to invent new ways to keep the emotion alive, to give new life to the manifestation of the Passion of Forio, much followed and loved by the public, islanders and others. Because you can stay one year, but not two.
