This ancient tradition is celebrated on February 2nd. It consists of attracting someone from outside your home with a pretext or a ruse.

This custom is characterized by irony in devising stratagems to lure the unfortunate person out of the house who will then be welcomed and mocked by the authors of the joke with the dialect phrase "L'è fora l'ors dala tana"! (Literally: The bear has come out of its den).

The symbolism of this tradition is linked to the arrival of spring in which the bear, once widespread in these areas, emerged from its long winter hibernation.
