Photographer’s Note

This is a focus on one of the activities reenacted in Mercato delle Gaite in Bevagna.
You can see here a "torcitoio", a big wooden structure, moved by one people walking inside it, used to twist silk yarn on reels.
People of Gaita Santa Maria, in Bevagna, reconstructed it on an ancient drawing found in an XVth century archive in Lucca.
It's actually functioning and you can come and visit it during the festival and also in the afternoon of every month in the year.
I assure you it's a wonderful experience!
