Ex voto and popular and peasant traditions
Museums dedicated to unusual aspects that outline the cultural and social history of communities. In Sant'Anastasia, the ex-votos of the Museum of Popular Religiousness, to immerse oneself in the intangible dimension of faith and spirituality. In Somma Vesuviana, the Michele Russo Museum of Farming Culture passionately reconstructs domestic life, farming culture and ancient trades in the Vesuvian area. And in Nola, the Museo Etnomusicale i Gigli di Nola (Ethno-musical Museum of the Lilies of Nola) is dedicated to folklore and the oldest and best-loved popular tradition: the spectacular festive machines that have been 'dancing' through the streets of Nola every year since ancient times during the patronal festival in honour of San Paolino.
