MUSEUM OF TRADITION
Il rito della Defenza
Il rito consiste nel rivestire un pagliaio di giunchi adornato con erbe fresche, fiori, mandorle, ciliegie con in cima un ciuffo di ginestre. Un uomo all'interno dei pagliaio si dondola a mo' di ballo e altre tre o quattro persone gli fanno corona cantando e suonando nacchere, tamburelli e zampogne.

MUSEUM OF TRADITION AND THE MAY FESTIVAL OF THE DEFENZA
Located in the historic village, in the small square adjacent to the Parish Church of San Nicola di Bari, in the "Casa D'Attilio" building at 56 Via Due Porte, the museum was inaugurated on August 11, 2014, during the presentation of A. Marasca's book "La festa del maggio nel rito e nella tradizione del canto popolare" (Palladino Editore). The museum, through rich and in-depth documentation, collects information, testimonies, photos, reviews, videos, traditional costumes, paintings, and musical instruments from the agro-pastoral world, all connected to the ancient rite of the "Maggio della Defensa," an authentic Lucitese folk chant linked to the May celebrations. This tradition is rooted in the ancient agricultural rituals of floral festivals, once used to celebrate the return of spring with songs, music, and dances.
The museum also traces and documents the recovery work of this ancient custom, initiated in Lucito in 1988 by Principal Nicolino De Rubertis, and continued uninterruptedly to this day by the Altair Sports, Cultural, and Recreational Association, in collaboration with local associations and young enthusiasts of popular culture. It serves as direct testimony to this tradition. Through a series of initiatives aimed at promoting studies, meetings, conferences, and ongoing field research to gather information and testimonies—especially by tapping into the historical memory of the elderly—the museum has played a key role in reconstructing the ancient rite. Thanks to these recovery efforts, the tradition now lives again within the Lucitese community every year on May 1st, just as it once did.
