At the headquarters of the Pro Loco Hippana in Prizzi, a meeting recounts the costume of "U diavulu", the figure who animates the traditional Ballo dei Diavoli. The dressing is illustrated step by step: the red of the fabric, the iron of the mask, the sheep's fleece, together with the history and meanings that the garment carries with it in the tradition of Sicilian Easter. The appointment on 6 December 2026 is part of the project "L'Italia vestita di Storia", linked to the Giornata Nazionale degli Abiti Storici promoted by the Ministry of Tourism. The initiative is organised by the Pro Loco Hippana Prizzi.
