For over twenty-five years in the hamlet of Polverigi, the Night of Witches is celebrated. The Festival of Witches begins with this formula: “Al calar delle tenebre in un crescendo di musica ed effetti pirotecnici, riapparirà la strega che volerà a cavallo della scopa…” (At nightfall in a crescendo of music and fireworks the witch will reappear, flying on her broomstick...) 

The old town is transformed into an enchanted castle, and the gardens and the local shops into hellfire caves, occult laboratories and haunted cemeteries.
