Pofi. Bowing solemnly

On the evening of 14 August in Pofi there is a procession called "dell'inchinata", bowing solemnly.

The statues of the Assumption, St. Sebastian, St. Emidio, St. Rocco, St. Louis, San Francisco, San Pio, SS. Salvatore, St. Anthony, Saint Lucia and Saint Joseph are paraded through the streets of the town.

In the square called a "horseshoe" the statues of the saints are made to bow before the Madonna in a sign of respect.
