MARIAGE TRADITIONNEL DE SELARGIUS

Few couples follow the traditional Sardinian wedding ceremony. In 1962, the village of Selargius, between Cagliari and Quartu Sant'Elena, had the idea to organize a wedding that respects the ancient customs. Since then, the Antico Sposalizio Selargino is held every year and brings together all the inhabitants of the village. The couple and the two families dress in the traditional costume and march in separate processions. Salt and grains are thrown on the couple in wish of prosperity.
