Festa del Cornuto, Roca Canterano 2012
Saturday, 10 November 2012by  This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it Hits : 2461

An intersting festival takes place on the second saturday every year in the town of Roca Canterano.  This is a little town outside of Rome in the Lazio region. 

It is the "Festa del Cornuto" or the festival of horns (Feast of the Cuckold).  Horns are often used to describe a cheating wife or husband, it is one of the worst insults you can say to a man or woman in Italian.

The festival celebrates anyone who has been cheated on in a relationship or spurned lovers, I guess in a "misery loves company" kind of manner.  People will march through the streets and satirical floats telling stories will pass through the streets.
