25 November 2021
uesday 30 November at 16.00 at the Italian Institute for Philosophical Studies in Naples the volume "Peregrini. Way to discover the cults, rites and rituals of the South ”published by Santelli Editore Milano by Giovanni Cardone The Volume is a collection of essays on the cults and myths of the South, coming from the most authoritative sources that have dealt with this theme. Cardone therefore acts as a guide on this multifaceted journey within the history and spiritual identity of the south of our beautiful country. The goal of the work is in fact to highlight and disseminate some of the most interesting aspects of southern culture. This is why the essays inside do not only tell the most famous phenomena, but also the lesser known ones. The reader is therefore led on a journey that stops in the most interesting geographical and symbolic places of Southern Italy. The most important aspect of the book is the encyclopedic breadth: it is a volume that brings together cults and rites from all over the South, each tradition is treated through a study and analysis of multiple aspects: historical, sociological, anthropological and so on. The scientific-informative story that develops in its pages therefore gives life to a unique text of its kind, totally absent in the Italian publishing panorama. The volume edited by Cardone is the result of extensive collaboration between the greatest essayists of the Italian academic and journalistic panorama, including the authoritative academic voices of Giuliana Albano, Giuseppe Michele Gala, Patrizia Manzo, Giorgio Otranto, Rosario Pinto and Marco Scarfiglieri. While on a journalistic level, names such as Salvatore and Marco Perillo stand out.
