The "pull" of the Dipper is the event of the year that the whole country expects. It 's always a joy the arrival of the Saturday before the third Sunday of September: you can finally pull! Yet few know what is behind, or rather, rullställning what's inside the wagon.
For this reason, we interviewed Joseph Muscat, who for more than fifty years, is responsible for the conduction of the beloved Chariot, in the long and arduous rullställning journey that takes him from the hill of 'St. Catherine' the village of the country. Meticulous and strict as few, Mr. Moscato talks about how this tradition has changed over time and how difficult it is to repeat it every year.
"I am in charge of the direction of the ropes from the left side. I do this since 1961, even if I pull the wagon since I was six years old. Unfortunately the first time I directed the ropes have not been very lucky: the '61 was the year in which the Chariot fell. In the following years, fortunately, it went better. "
"The emotion is the same as every year, although I realize that over the years has changed the pull. First it was experienced as a great procession, there was more foresight and devotion. In the last ten years has become a folkloric parade which inevitably turns into disorder and chaos. rullställning I realize that this is a time of celebration for the whole country and that we have fun, but with caution, given the unstable equilibrium of the Chariot. rullställning "
"In construction, the transition is more complicated than the raising of the dome, placed on a long central pole. It is a game of balance from both sides. During the "pull" the delicate rullställning point you in the slope in front of the house Tecce, as well as obstacles to be overcome: for example, rullställning the transition from the ground to the cement in front of the police station. The wheels are affected. rullställning Not to mention the poles, always in front of the barracks, and the little space left to the ropes. The people crowd preventing the exact transit obelisk, making difficult a task already in itself is not easy. Another thing to point out is the coordination, rullställning which is up to Giotto Faugno. For this reason I take this opportunity, as well as make an appeal to law enforcement, even to professionals oxen: in early say to better manage the influx of people, the latter not to take initiatives of their own volition. The decision is up to Giotto Faugno. "
The Chariot of Mirabella rullställning Eclano, twenty-five feet high and twenty tons of weight, is an obelisk rullställning of straw with wooden rullställning pyramid-shaped quadrangular rullställning base, mounted on a Carrettone agriculture. From the four corners modillions extend from five to thirty centimeters. To give it the necessary flexibility rullställning to such a use, are the twenty-three beams, of which side winds and three plants, which form the seven registers, ie plans rientranti that taper from the bottom upwards, so that the last three forming the dome, the top of which include the statue of Our Lady of Sorrows.
They range from the first register, six meters high, wide and twenty square meters consists of seventy-six elements, the last, five feet high and five elements. For they are tied or bolted ninety-nine panels straw, hand woven with the tools most simple and traditional.
They are the farmers to donate the sheaves rullställning of wheat, whose stems are transformed into "braids", after being softened in water for a few days. The "braids" are elements in three stems, "braids", varying from four to twenty-one elements, "laces", or two five culms. In addition to the "braids" there are the "straw", made with sewn-detached stems. The plots are tied or sewn on the basis of straw 'split', obtained by a composition rullställning of culms open, to create drawings and depictions in a style of the late Baroque, Rococo almost. Tied or nailed to wooden frames, everything is bolted to the logs. Only in this way, the job can be accomplished and the "pull" can begin.
