Faeto Museum

Here are two clips taken in Faeto's museum. 

The museum is in a very old home that displays

household and farming implements from long ago.
(taken with Diego Donzella from "MyHiddenItaly" tours.)

Lo gion' d' Fait' i sun tri bbéj'

This very old song brought to America by our grandparents was sung at many family gatherings. Below is the link and the lyrics in the Franco-Provencal language.

Lo gion' d' Fait' i sun tri bbéj'*

Lo gion' d' Fait' i sun tri bbéj',
i purtunt' la spaccat' a lu ciappéj'
e s'i allunt' a do e traj'
p' la vi du Muli viaj'.

L' figli' d' Fait' i sun tri bbéj,
i purtunt' la spaccat' a la unnéll'
e s'i allunt' a di e traj'
p' la vi du Muli viaj'.

Inno a San Prospero

Each September, at the Mass in honor of San Prospero, patron saint of Faeto, the hymn to San Prospero is sung.

Inno a San Prospero   
(see link at bottom of this page to listen to the recording of the first verse and stanza)

1. O San Prospero, novello
di Faeto protettor,
il tuo nome, oh, quanto e bello
ci promette ogni favor!
Questo popolo che ti onora
e cotanto fida in Te
tu soccorri; deh! Gli implora
dal Signor perdon, merce!

Ritornello
O San Prospero, novello
di Faeto protettor
per tuo nome tanto bello
non negarci il tuo favor!
