The miracle of revelry belongs to the history of Viareggio

It appears on 7th September 1854 following the outbreak of a cholera epidemic

that hit the city hard a miracle occourred

Viareggio had been bent by the Cholera epidemic and the population

exasperated by the suffering dead the people decided to ask helping by the heaven

In September Father Pucci invited the people to pray together the Madonna

and celebrating the revelry together by accessing the fires

that lit up the night

It seems that thanks to Our Lady the epidemic ceased the miracle occurred and the reverly remained

as a traditionover the years in Viareggio

Today in Viareggio we celebrate “La Baldoria” by accessing these huge bonfires remembering

those events

The revelry from Viareggio
