The Association of the Celebrations of the Big Shoulder-borne Processional Structures was born in 2006 and includes four Italian religious feasts (the Santa Rosa Machine in Viterbo, the Gigli Feast in Nola, the Varia of Palmi and the Faradda di li Candareri in Sassari). Since 2013 this group is into the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO.

The Santa Rosa Machine is a tower illuminated by torches and electric lights. It's high around 30 metres and weighs 5 tonnes. It's made with light metal and modern materials such as the fibreglass that lastly has been replaced by iron, wood and papier-mache.
