Garaguso.
The discovery of archaeological finds dating back
to the Greek period leads us to believe that the
town is quite old. In the feudal period Garaguso
belonged to the Sanseverinos. It was destroyed by
an earthquake in 1694 and then rebuilt by the Revettera
di Salandra family in the XVIII century.
The church of San Nicola di Mira, which contains
a painting made by the Monk Deodato da Tolie in
1761 and a XIV century stoup, is important from
an historic point of view and so is the parish church
of the Assunta, which contains two canvases portraying
the Assumption and St. Vincent.
The Holy Week rites are very touching, especially
the Good Friday procession, during which the statue
of Our Lady of Sorrows and of the dead Christ are
carried on shoulders by widows and men.
