POI BRIEF DESCRIPTION
Description of the POI
Today the parade has almost the same characteristics of the ancient one that took place in 1700. In the morning of Corpus Christi, the actors, the carriers and the marching bands meet at the Museum, where the structures are kept. At 10 o'clock the carriers raise the Misteri and begin to march swaying to the rhythm of the musical motif. The thirteen Misteri cross the old town following a precise order, touching the balconies, stopping and continuing to parade among thousands of people. At Around 1 pm, in Piazza Municipio, the procession receives the solemn blessing of the Bishop and returns in the museum rooms where the structures are kept.

RELEVANT INFORMATION
Type of tourist experience
The parade is definitely one of the most engaging experiences to do in Campobasso, it is interesting to follow the procession for all the time and appreciate the evocative perspective games that Misteri create passing through the narrow alleys of the old town. Between the euphoria of the crowd and the impetuosity of the carriers, funny moments arise in which the sense of belonging to one’s Mistero is highlighted. The fight between the devils who try to make the charming and impassive Tunzella smile is one of the most famous and waited moment of the whole event.
