A unique and interesting tradition is held annually in the Italian city of Trento.
In this ceremony, called "La Tonca," one of the local politicians who made the most inappropriate or absurd decisions during the year is chosen as a symbolic punishment. It is placed in a special iron cage and lowered into the icy water of the Adyge River.
This event is held annually as part of a week-long festival called "Feste Vigiliane." During the festival, various cultural and entertainment programs will be organized in the city.
Observers note that through this tradition, the public humorously and symbolically expresses its attitude towards the decisions of local leaders. At the same time, this event occupies a special place in the historical and cultural life of the city.
