La Passione (the Passion Play), organized by the Associazione Teatro Popolare di Sordevolo, is held every five years in the community of Sordevolo. The play has been performed since 1816 and features approximately 400 actors and 300 crew members. Over 100 days, forty shows are performed.
The script is a text in verses written by Giuliano Dati, chaplain of the church of the Forty Saints Martyrs in Trastevere, Rome, at the end of the 15th century. In 1539, during the Reformation, Pope Paul III banned the play. A copy of the original Roman manuscript printed in Turin in 1728 is now exhibited and preserved in the Museum of the Passion inside the Church of Santa Marta in Sordevolo.[1]
