Edition 2025 — Brusa la Vecia

In 2025 too, the Brusa la Vecia lit up the Epiphany evening in Piazza Castello in Suzzara. Amidst stands of mulled wine and hot tea, music, and the inevitable burning of the Old Woman puppet, the pagan-rural tradition of the Bassa Mantovana gathered young and old around the auspicious bonfire.

On January 6, 2025, the tradition of Brusa la Vecia renewed its Epiphany appointment in Suzzara. In Piazza Castello, in the heart of the city, stands with hot tea and mulled wine welcomed participants as they awaited the most anticipated moment: the lighting of the large bonfire and the burning of the Old Woman puppet.

As is customary in the Bassa Mantovana, the ritual symbolically marked the end of the old year and the wish for luck and prosperity for the new one, with fire as the absolute protagonist in the darkness of the winter evening.
