With the scope of handing down our traditions to kids, the group
"I PICCIOTTI DI MATARO’" on april 2010 founded a group of children called
"I PICCOLI PICCIOTTI DI MATARO’" formed by 27 children starting from the
age of 4 up to 12 years, all full of energy, passionated and with a desire to do
as much as possible.
THE BOY'S COSTUME
The costume is composed by a gilet called "gilleccu"
with knickers that still show traces of the Spanish domination, with side vents
slightly covering the hand-made cotton knee socks, red bow and red band at the waist.
THE GIRL'S COSTUME
The girl's costume is composed by a large, curled on the sides,
"damask" red coloured cotton skirt. On the front of the skirt a narrow
and long smock of white lace called "fantale". A shirt of white cotton
and on the waist a black "corset" laced in front by a golden cord.
The hair tied by a "tuppo" (nape) with little red flowers,
to show up and exploit the little face.
