Description
The fountain "di i Puvarelli" (of the beggars) owes its name to an old tradition: on the eve of the patron saint's day, beggars from the plain were allowed to enter the village on condition that they washed here, under the gaze of the young Corbarais.
The "Di i Puvarelli" fountain (the beggars' fountain) is located at the bottom of the village, a short distance from the "di a Leccia" fountain, on the edge of the local road linking Corbara to Pigna.
It owes its name to an old tradition: on the eve of each patronal feast day, principally that of the Nativity of the Virgin on September 8, beggars from the plain were exceptionally authorized to enter the village to beg. There was only one condition: they had to wash at this fountain to ensure they were clean before entering the alleys. The young people of the village ensured that this rule was respected, guaranteeing that everyone could take part in the festivities in accordance with ancient customs.
