A t the eve of the Nativity of Mary, the peasants in the mountains of Pistoia casentinesi and they walked to Florence to celebrate the anniversary in Piazza Santissima Annunziata, where just the 8 September was held a big fair where they could sell their products. Along the way, lights the way with lanterns of various shapes used in the city of course. The salacious Florentines could not save himself from taking some of these rude people around who seemed so to a strange city, and particular object of scorn were the peasants with their clumsy ways hurry up and clothes.
So every year, especially young people came together to make noise and make fun of the peasants and, inspired by their shapes and the clothes of women in the country, began to build their own lanterns, which over time they will call their own lanterns . Fiericulone was in fact the nickname given to women, because both were attending the fierucola is to invoke the curves of the same abundant.
In the midst of this confusion comes from if someone started throwing watermelon peels to ignite the lamps, lanterns and these are still beloved from the smallest, to have arrived to this day even though the shapes are very different (from the crescent to the headlight, the train to the rocket) and the skins of watermelon have been replaced by more efficient and accurate blowpipe. So every year on the evening of September 7, gardens and squares of Florence are full of children with their lanterns in a party always loved.
