Vallja Dance Celebration

On Easter Tuesday, the streets of Frascineto come alive with the Vallja dance—a powerful expression of Arbëreshë identity. Women dressed in traditional costumes, vibrant with gold and spring colors, form a graceful horseshoe formation led by “caporali” as they sing in Arbërisht, recalling heroic battles and ancient pride. It’s a day where the past walks hand in hand with the present, and folklore takes center stage.
