Cerami, il paese delle confraternite: tipologie di communitas, percorsi passionali e comportamenti festivi

Cerami is a town of the Nebrodi chain in Sicily and represents the country of the brotherhoods, as every aspect of its festive calendar revolves around the roles thet the latter play. A brotherhood is a clear example of ritual communitas and to enter into it a rite of passage takes place. The brotherhoods are opposed during the profane time but in a sacred time, therefore during the religious holidays, they collaborate.
