Synopsis
The most exciting moment in the 2nd of July religious feast in Matera is the “tear up” of the float: the mass gathered in the main square of the city destroys the huge float made in paper pulp, and the ablest ones will eventually succeed in conquering some shreds, symbols of courage and devotion to the virgin. The “tear up” however is also allegorical of a cultural and social “tear up” of all those who left the city looking for a job somewhere else.
