On the night between June 23rd and 24th, the feast of St. John the Baptist is celebrated, just a few days after the summer solstice—occasions that bring together centuries-old traditions linked to the cult of the sun, light triumphing over darkness, and the powers of nature.
The walk through the countryside and woods of Riolo Terme is accompanied by stories and anecdotes about the beneficial properties of herbs and flowers, according to the ancestral traditions of Romagna.
During the workshop, St. John's Water is prepared: a potion of prosperity made from wild flowers and dew, used in the morning to wash one's face and bring good fortune.
Program:
- 6.00 pm - Meeting at the River Park and workshop
- 8.00 pm - Start of the walk
- 11.30 pm - Return
Recommended: hiking shoes, comfortable clothing, water bottle.
