Abstract

The Sanctuary of Saint Albertus is to be identified with the archeological ruins related to the cathedral of the ancient diocesis of Montecorvino (11th-15th Cent.). The venerated objects are some relics and a wooden statue, which are preserved in the village of Pietramontecorvino, 7 km far from the archeologial site of Montecorvino. On the 16th of May an annual pilgrimage takes place from Pietramontecorvino to the ancient cathedral, where the statue of St. Albertus is transferred by the pilgrims. A typical feature of the procession is the fact that several 20m long trunks (called “palii”) are carried along the whole route, each sustained by seven young men. The trunks are dressed with multicolored handkerchiefs donated by the women of the village.
