Cori. The Passion of Giulianello and the Women of Giulianello

On Good Friday, Giulianello di Cori is crossed by a procession representing the passion of Christ.

The procession is opened by Giulianello's Women who sing traditional ancient songs with a unique and particular musicality.

Popular songs have been handed down and survive thanks to the group of Giulianello's Women, which modulate a Julianese song dating back to around the year 1000.

The composition has been handed down from generation to generation among the peasants arriving intact until today. A testimony so precious that the Center Pompidou in Paris keeps a record.

All the songs are polyphonic, with main voices alternating and a chorus responding.

The themes are not only liturgical, but largely tell of an archaic peasant society and the exploitation of labor.
