«La fòcara di Novoli» is the local history essay by Salvatore Epifani, published by Youcanprint in paperback (130 pages, in Italian).
The book updates Salvatore Epifani's earlier writings on the fòcara of Novoli, the great bonfire that the residents of Novoli (Lecce) light every 16 January in honour of Saint Anthony the Abbot. It analyses the drift of this centuries-old rite towards a commercial spectacle and warns public administrations of the expenditure with no return for the territory.
A work of local history focused on Novoli and the fòcara festival; the Italian edition was published on 8 March 2023.
It will appeal to readers interested in Italian local history, religious folklore and the debate on the commercialisation of popular festivals.
