Capodano Bizantino

Today, in some Italian coastal towns (Amalfi and Atrani) the Capodanno Bizantino (Byzantine New Year) takes place. Closely linked to the rise of maritime trade in collaboration with Byzantium, these towns commemorate their glorious past with a procession in period costume and numerous cultural activities. #mythology #myth #legend #calendar #September 1st #Amalfi #Atrani
