La Baìo di Sampeyre 2023

The baìo is a traditional festival that usually takes place every five years (the next edition in 2028) in the municipality of Sampeyre, in Valle Varaita, in the province of Cuneo, in the first weeks of February. It is one of the most important and oldest traditional festivals in the Italian Alps. The outings and meetings of the various Baìo follow a precise script dictated by tradition: on the second Sunday before Shrove Thursday the four processions parade in their own village, except for the Baìo di Calchesio who goes to Sampeyre to meet Piasso's procession; the following Sunday the various Baìo leave for Sampeyre where the solemn meeting takes place: the Abà exchange a greeting with swords, and parade up to the square where four dance groups are formed with their respective players; during the procession there are barriers made up of trunks which symbolize the obstacles left by the Saracens during their flight: they are knocked down by the sapeurs ("diggers", in Occitan, and "spoiler", in French) with axes and dance and refreshments; on Shrove Thursday, all the Baìo with the exception of that of Villar parade again in Sampeyre and then return to their own village, where the party closes with the trial of the treasurer. In fact, he tries to escape with the cash box thanks to the help of a secretary, but traditionally he is caught and tried: pardoned by the bays of Sampeyre, Rore and Calchesio, they are executed in Villar. Cavalìe (knights) – they represent the cavalry of the villagers, and open the procession of Calchesio and Sampeyre Tambourn majour – leads the procession of Calchesio and Villar, moving a long stick in time with the music; Arlequin – is the "order service" of the Bahìo, which has to hold back the people by frightening them in a burlesque way to prevent them from hindering the procession; Sarazine – little girls twirling a white handkerchief as a coded signal for the liberation army, played by younger children Signourine (ladies) - dressed in white to symbolize the end of slavery by the Saracens, they are played by boys aged between 10 and 16; Tambourin (tambourines) – they call the procession together and mark the rhythm of the march, and in the Villar there is also a timbale player; Sapeur – armed with axes, they break down the log barriers left by fleeing Saracens; Grec (Greeks) – present in the processions of Rore, Sampeyre and Calchesio, are the young people aged 17 to 30 who interpret the Greek prisoners, freed by the villagers. It is the party's least constrained role; Escarlinìe – they represent the infantry of the villagers, and are armed with clubs decorated with ivy, colored ribbons and bells; Espous (newlyweds) – young married couples, who are limited to only one for the procession of Rore; Segnouri (gentlemen) - are the wealthy of the country who can now move freely without fear of looting by the Saracens, part of the processions of Rore, Sampeyre and Villar; Sounadour (players) – they are the musicians of the procession who play for the dance, occasionally even for more than twenty-four consecutive hours; Uzuart – are the guards who escort the Alum, armed with sword or rifle; Granatìe – they escort the Tezourìe and execute them, they are only present at the Villar; Morou (the blacks) and Turc – the former travel on the back of a mule or donkey and are freed prisoners of the Saracens, the latter are Saracen prisoners, travel chained on foot and are present only in Sampeyre; Viéi and Viéio (the old man and the old woman) – are the characters who close the procession in a ridiculous way, panting and pretending not to be able to keep up. They are dressed in rags and carry a cradle with a baby (a doll) inside and a flask of wine; Cantinìe (cellar master) – he runs up and down the procession making sure that nobody lacks a drink. La baìo è una festa tradizionale che si svolge solitamente ogni cinque anni (la prossima edizione nel 2028) nel comune di Sampeyre, in Valle Varaita, nella provincia di Cuneo, nelle prime settimane di febbraio. È una delle più importanti e antiche feste tradizionali delle Alpi italiane.
