This is also the case with the carrasegare in Neoneli, which takes the name of <strong>Ritus Calendarum<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Neoneli (in Sard Neunele) is a<strong> village of just seven hundred inhabitants<\/strong> located in the province of Oristano, in the <strong>historical region of Barigadu<\/strong>. A village of ancient origins, inhabited as early as pre-nuragic times, as is clear from the presence in the area of some domus de Janas.<\/p>\n<p>The rituals are held on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday of the carnival. The streets of the old village centre of Neoneli transform into a jubilation of colours, with parades of the village\u2019s traditional masks. There are two different kinds of these: <strong>\u201cSos Corriolos\u201d<\/strong> and <strong>&#8220;Sa maschera&#8217;e Cuaddu&#8221;<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cSos Corriolos\u201d<\/strong> wears clothing produced with sheep and goat skins, with a leather belt at the waist. Making its mark is the <strong>cork headgear<\/strong> with large<strong> fallow deer or stag horn<\/strong>, while on their backs they wear <strong>hedgehog skins and animal bones<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cSa Maschera &#8216;e Cuaddu\u201d<\/strong> literally means <strong>\u201chorse mask\u201d<\/strong> as originally those who wore this mask would usually parade on a horse and then take part in an equestrian game. It is an example of <strong>\u201cmaschera limpia\u201d, or rather clean mask,<\/strong> because they have their face uncovered. The costume is a white shirt, trousers with ornate skirt on top decorated with lace and rattles which jingle during the dance.\u00a0Furthermore, the costume includes gloves and white socks, lace, silk shawls and lastly a headscarf, it too in silk, placed over the hair and decorated with cockades and different coloured ribbons.<\/p>\n<p>On 16 January (feast day of Sant\u2019Antonio Abate), \u201cSos Corriolos\u201d the carnival gets underway with dancing around a blessed bonfire and burning small kindlings of wood. This would appear to be a modern-day representation of the rituals in honour of Dionysus which were held during the Calende in January, and from where the name Ritus Calendarum stems from.<\/p>\n<p>According to legend, Dionysus, god of wine, vegetation and inebriation, born of the union between Zeus and a mortal, was killed on the wishes of Era, who decided to seek revenge for this betrayal: Dionysus\u2019 blood made the land fertile, producing plentiful harvests.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2673,"template":"","tipologia":[995],"categoria":[1026],"tematica":[1032],"class_list":["post-29239","place","type-place","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tipologia-carnevale-en","categoria-ethnoanthropological-asset","tematica-traditions-and-history-en"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v20.13 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Carnival of Neoneli - Ritus Calendarum - Idese<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/idese.cultura.gov.it\/en\/place\/carnival-of-neoneli-ritus-calendarum\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_GB\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Carnival of Neoneli - Ritus Calendarum - Idese\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Sardinia\u2019s carnival traditions derive from ancient propitiatory rituals and reflect the island\u2019s agricultural and sheep rearing tradition.
