Rolo a Borgo Piave

On Sunday, April 5, and Monday, April 6, respectively Easter and Easter Monday, starting from 3:00 PM, children and adults from the City of Belluno and beyond are invited to Piazzetta San Nicolò di Borgo Piave to play the rolo as per tradition.

It was customary, indeed, in Borgo Piave to play rolo on the paved part of the Ponte Vecchio where once, as Gianni Secco, a notable figure in our Museo Maschere Dolomitiche at Palazzo Secco, recalled, the field was made using sand from the Piave River, and challenges were held by rolling eggs on the lavador (the board for washing clothes).

To participate in the game, it is necessary to arrive with 1-2 painted hard-boiled eggs, to distinguish them from those of other participants, and coins to play with (20 cents).

This year, our association wanted to dedicate the event to Luciano Clapis, a resident of Borgo Pra, who for years carried on the tradition in Piazza dei Martiri and has recently passed away.

To support the association's activities, a voluntary contribution of 3 euros per person is recommended, and we would appreciate a note of participation by writing to segreteria@borgopiaveetc.it.
