A San Marcellu Aleria

This community fair consists of the traditional celebration of Saint Marcel combining religious ceremonies with a massive market of Oriente producers.[10] Historically Aleria was the Roman capital of the island and its agricultural fertile plains have sustained the region for millennia. The regional identity is celebrated through the promotion of local wine and archaeological heritage along with the religious procession. Visitors enjoy a weekend of heritage tours tastings and concerts in the ancient surroundings of the Aleria plateau. The social impact strengthens the links between the agricultural sector and the historic preservation of the Roman sites. For researchers it offers a unique case of continuity between ancient trade traditions and modern regional markets. Preserving the multi-layered legacy of Aleria is the core focus of this spring gathering.
