Bruna in Matera Matera

This post is dedicated to the association genius loci of Matera, which promotes the knowledge of how to whistle or cuckoo is known in our area,
this event is in its second year, takes place every two years, found much interest and active participation of artists from all over Italy and other European countries, shows there are about 300 interesantissimi diverse and whistles, I've photographed people, live the emotional impact is intense, but maybe I have to enter some information on the whistle .. .
Its origins are lost in the mists of time, his breath evokes the memory of the biblical Creation of Adam and Eve, the sound like the song of the cuckoo is a gentle reminder to the girl, which was donated by his beloved, but mainly it was the game of our grandparents, children, like adults when the kids were into something so humble something infinitely precious and beautiful, so much to keep it safe and jealousy.
are artifacts that played through the human breath by breath, shaped by human hands as a raw material that uses clay, abound in poetry and almost magical charm and possess the universal language of reporting and unite people.
So it's a small object that will bring peace, love, friendship, luck and Buonasorte, which has long been a playground for children, a gift between lovers, and is now being rediscovered and celebrated in some way to tell it, know it and not lose history.

here's the link to Genius Loci and their first-hand experience about this event
