Carnival, but for us ta-Rantin takes a very particular nature: it is the period before Lent, a Lent that only Ta-rant and lived in a truly special and inten- I know. Speaking of Lent means to project immediately to Holy Week, to forgive, and the procession of the Mysteries. To this comes in stages, with a ta-preparation sizes. By Wednesday Ce-blacks is within the heart of the tradition of Easter-Taranto, a tradition that, to put it like John Acquaviva, "Resist-time and increase would be almost audible if not if we were all witnesses and the protagonists point.
