Abstract
Among the devotional traditions that characterised religious and maritime festivals in Messina during the early modern period, the 'Vascelluzzo' (small Vessel) has played a particularly important role. The procession of the 'Vascelluzzo' follows the devotional course of the 'Corpus Domini', in which the religious element is superimposed on the popular element. There are different versions of the historical event that gave rise to the traditional festival of the 'Vascelluzzo'.File in questo prodotto:
