With the festa dei morti just around the corner, we thought we’d dust off a very interesting mini-series of videos produced by the BBC in the United Kingdom. On the website of the British network a couple of years ago aired on October 31, the documentary “The beautiful dead”, rediscovering the Sicilian tradition of il giorno dei morti. 

This mini-series of 3 videos of about 6 minutes each, takes us on a very interesting journey through the Sicilian beliefs related to the cult of the dead, enriched by interviews with anthropologists, scientists and writers. You can watch all 3 videos below.
