The Grape Festival in Torre del Greek was celebrated during the harvest in September since the beginning of the thirties and probably disappear at the beginning of the fifty.
Inspired by cults and pagan traditions and Fascism, imposing ritual. In all the main streets and squares of Italian soil (in Greek Tower in Piazza Santa Croce), were built sheds and stalls decorated with grapes and vine branches. Prosperous and pretty girls in traditional costumes of the place offering the sweet and precious fruit to the people celebrating, in the delighted gaze of the authorities.
Spirit propaganda initiative was to encourage and use products the nation, whose authenticity also led to the high nutritional benefits, given the presence of sugar and glucose in the grape pulp (not to mention the fine Italian wines, famous even beyond the Alps ...).
So if it was to increase the use (and then, a good glass of wine was better than any medicine!) And fruit in general, to help raise more and more production of our country.
