In the evening, the Deposition of Christ was accompanied by the singing of 'Occhi Mirate' and the procession with the urn and the statue of Our Lady of Sorrows, preceded by the faithful with the 'paramiti'. To close, the carcucciuliata in the square with artichokes, potatoes, fried sardines, salt cod, and hard-boiled eggs.
