Cocullo is a comune and town in the Province of L'Aquila , located in the Abruzzo region of Italy . As of 2013 its population was of 246.
Geography
[ edit ]
The village is situated in the Peligna Valley , between the towns of Avezzano and Sulmona . It is linked with them by the A25 motorway and the Rome-Pescara railway line .
It is a single civil parish (frazione ), named Casale [3] and borders with the municipalities of Anversa degli Abruzzi , Bugnara , Castel di Ieri , Castelvecchio Subequo , Goriano Sicoli , Ortona dei Marsi and Prezza .
History
[ edit ]
The origins of Cocullo are closely related to the Ancient Roman town of Koukoulon , situated between Cocullo village and Casale.[4]
Snake Festival (Feast of San Domenico)
[ edit ]
Cocullo is known for its singular patron saint's holiday, named Festa dei Serpari , in which the patron saint's statue (Domenico di Sora ) is transported in procession covered with many snakes (mainly four-lined , aesculapian , grass and green whip snakes). The reptiles themselves are transported in procession by local serpari ,[5] a sort of "snake breeders ", and released in the surrounding woods at the end of the holiday.[6] [7] The festival, set every first of May since 2012 (in the past it took place every first Thursday in May), is a receptive event for thousands of Italian and foreign visitors. In 2009 it was cancelled due to some structural damages occurred into the village after the L'Aquila earthquake .[8] This tradition, present also in coat of arms symbolism,[9] substituted the ancient Roman mythologic ritual of Angitia , a snake goddess worshipped by the Marsi .[10]
