Burning of the Castle pyrotechnic show in Italy
The video portrays the ‘Burning of the Castle’ (L'Incendio al Castello) in Tricase, Italy, a signature pyrotechnic show staged on the walls and façade of Palazzo dei Principi Gallone in Piazza Pisanelli. It forms part of the town’s patronal feast for Saint Vito each August. After the evening procession returns to the square, technicians ignite lines of fireworks that create a shimmering ‘waterfall’ down the castle front, making the building appear ablaze—without any damage. The spectacle draws big crowds and is widely seen as the emotional climax of the festivities.
