This short review investigates Gianfranco Spitilli’s book. The work is the result of the Author’s ethnographic investigation, carried out from 2001 to 2008 in some Regions located in the Centre of Italy (Abruzzo, Molise, Lazio). The ethnographic investigation is, in its turn, integrated in a wider critical perspective, which speculates on the function of bovines in some feasts and celebrations devoted to certain Saints. The book, composed of a Preface (written by Giordana Charuty), an Introduction, two main Sections and a Bibliography, is enriched by interesting pictures and a DVD.
