Even modest affairs often involved a procession, especially in rural villages. This custom has since World War II gradually gone out of fashion. The wedding procession ( corteo nuziale ). In some Italian villages there was the tradition of wedding parade. The bride went to church accompanied from their father. The bridegroom followed accompanied from mother-in law. We note a procession in Caprarica, in southern Italy near Bari, in 1950s or early 1960s. It is a goof example of a wedding procession. It was summertime. At the sides of parade there are village children in their "casual" clothing. Usually they are barefoot; someone just in underwear. Since late 1960s this tradition has disappeared.
