Not many extra Easter traditions that interest me and excite at the same level as those related to Holy Week, but I must say that the Feast of the Mysteries of Campobasso, for many years aroused in me a certain attraction without explaining that I knew why ... I liked it and all. I have read and seen much of this event on the internet, I bought a book on the mysteries, but before June 14, 2009 there had never personally witnessed, the fact is that, on this date, the Solemnity of Corpus Christi, with my Mauro Spagnolo dear friend, a great connoisseur and lover of folk traditions, I made a quick visit to Campobasso to finally vedere i Misteri con i miei occhi.
E' il caso di dire ... "un amore a prima vista" ... infatti ne sono stato letteralmente conquistato.
Quello che è meraviglioso a Campobasso, in quel giorno, è l' atmosfera che si respira per strada; è palpabile e contagioso, il grande ed autentico coinvolgimento della popolazione che vive in prima persona la Sagra dei Misteri.
Ciò che la rende ancora più interessante è proprio questo: la spontaneità con la quale gli abitanti di Campobasso vivono quei momenti.
Poco innanzi ho detto, che pur senza sapere perchè, la Sagra dei Misteri mi piaceva e basta ... ora che l' ho vista di persona, ugualmente non so dire perchè, ma I like even more.
I decided that from now on, every year, I will be at Camp on the day of Corpus Christi.

The "Sagra dei Misteri Campobasso is one of the most important and evocative expressions of popular culture religious Molise.
This tradition takes place the day of Corpus Domini procession and consists of thirteen Mysteries along a path that starts from the homonymous Museum in Via Trento and on to the streets of the old town and the main streets of the city of Campobasso.
These machines are carried on the shoulders of a group of young people, a number not less than twelve per Mystery, with the rhythm, punctuated by the head of "mystery".
The Mysteries are "living pictures of the old and new testament": children, seniors and adults dressed in various colored outfits, are anchored to the structures of steel and wood, coated in a manner which gives the impression that the angels, saints and demons aleggino really in the air.
The Mystery Machine (also known as Talents ) were created in 1748 by Paolo Saverio Di Zinno, a famous artist Campobasso, in the number of hours a day and were held in three churches, which provided the organization of the Corpus Christi procession.
twenty-four "cars" only twelve feet would carry the testing while the others were destroyed in the earthquake of 1805. On the contrary, those that were used, the disintegration of each year so as to vary the shapes. The Thirteenth
