Recco staat al een paar jaar op me verlanglijstje meer helaas komt er elke keer iets anders voor inplaats. Lijkt me een heel leuk feestje.

"Mascoli" or "antichi mortaletti liguri" are typical ligurian fireworks and are small iron cannons filled with black powder.
It is an old fireworks display that you can see only in the area of Genoa.

7 "mascoli" diplay on 8th September in Recco:
at 12.30 "mascoli" display of Verzemma District
from 20.30 during Procession "mascoli" display of 5 District: Collodari, Liceto, Bastia, Spiaggia and Ponte.

In these video you can see how they explode:
