Tammurinari




Tammurinaru is Sicilian  singular for drummer, tamburino, in Italian. The traditional tammmurinari were actually news spreaders of a sort. They were used as providers of announcements and for advertising purposes. Sort of town criers. Here they are all decked out in traditional folk costumes and are announcing the upcoming Festa del ventuno the main town feast for that culminates on August 21st. They were shot on the main street the Corso Garibaldi.
