Salle’s procession

Procession for the translation of the body of beatus Roberto da Salle, its 200th anniversary ( July 2007)

Who is following me since the beginning of my Facebook page already saw this several times I'm afraid, sorry...

But I simply love this video. I love this music, the mysterious beginning, the explosion of joy, this big contrast which well describes Italian soul... and how they play in the hottest sun without any cap, and the Maestro of the band, how he walks in front, and the statue, and how many string makers are holding it...

For me this video is so intense, simply wow, from beginning to the end.
