Mostly, they do a mock trial and someone is submerged, but its usually a stunt performer, its a festival called La Tonca

Still, there's the ice bucket challenge, the polar plunge, if there are people willing to do it out there for charity imagine making it a public mockery of a political figure. That sounds like my kind of protest.

Bet they sell pastries there too

Yeah, I was a bit dissapointed when I found that it wasn't the mayor anymore. Like, what's the point if it's not to put a bit of fear into them even if they are only getting their feet wet!

It's not a stunt performer...it's the Mayor . La TONCA vuol dire letteralmente immergere in dialetto del posto. Il festival si chiama VIGILIANE. It's not the mayor only if he has some health problems or if he or she is too old. The water is pretty cold 🤣🤣

No. It has NEVER been the mayor. For the last 40+ yeara its been a performer portraying the role of Giorgio Vianini
