I never knew there was such a beautiful festival in Italy to honour St-Jean Baptiste! He is also the patron saint of Quebec, one of our provinces and it is also a holiday for them but not for the rest of Canada. It's a provincial holiday. When I was a girl, there always used to be a procession on that day with a special chariot carrying a young boy representing the saint. Every year the search was on for a young boy with blond naturally curly hair. Eventually, the procession stopped. I can't remember why. Thanks for sharing this.
