Espace populations sociétés (Dec 2007)
Le plus grand regroupement annuel et itinérant d’Italie
Abstract
L'Adunata degli alpini is the most important “wandering demonstration” which takes place every year in Italy. Each edition attracts about 400.000 people of various social/cultural origins. For two complete days, the normal urban landscape of the chosen city is totally transformed: the city centre, mainly, is entirely taken up with the celebrations. This “festival”, born with commemorative intents, has become during the years a proper popular demonstration. The massive flow of people who attends, requires great preparation but it also brings big economical repercussions for the concerned city, which changes every year.
