The Sanctuary of the Madonna Incoronata, built in 1761, stands in a rural area linked to the historic wheat festival, one of the most characteristic rituals of the Fortore area. Every April, farmers and young people of the village dig furrows in the fields and carry the "verghe" (long poles decorated with wheat and flowers) in procession. In ancient times, this was followed by the release of a dove as a propitiatory gesture for the harvest. This tradition combines ancient agricultural symbols with Marian devotion, making the sanctuary a deeply rooted place for San Bartolomeo in Galdo.

The Lucera-Castel di Sangro Tratturo is one of the great transhumance sheep tracks, an ancient grassy trail over one hundred kilometers long that connected the Tavoliere di Puglia to the high-altitude pastures of Abruzzo. In this stretch, the sheep track marks the border between Campania and Puglia and still retains its original breadth, with open fields, low walls, and intact rural landscapes. It is one of the most important historical shepherds' routes, a cultural corridor that recounts centuries of seasonal migrations and agro-pastoral life.

Article from Sanbartolomeo.info Chapel built in 1761 by the priest Don Nicola Reino. The celebrations in honor of the Crowned Madonna are particularly interesting for their union between the sacred and the profane. This festival is celebrated on the last Sunday of April in the rural village of the same name. Here, the statue of the Virgin is carried in procession, watched over with songs and prayers. In the days leading up to the festival, the farmers dig furrows in the land that reach from the horizon to the small church, putting all their effort into making them as straight as possible, both for competition between the various groups and out of devotion and thanksgiving for the harvest. During the ritual, the farmers raised tall poles made of wheat, grass, and flowers. At the top was placed a representation of the sanctuary—a box containing a dove that will be released at the end of the ceremony. This ritual is kept alive today thanks to the many groups of young people who, throughout the year, prepare the poles covered in colorful crepe paper flowers, which they carry on their shoulders following the procession and then raise in front of the church in honor of the Madonna. The festival is characterized by vigils, prayers, and quick breakfasts consumed on the grass surrounding the church or at the various kiosks set up for the occasion. The historical sources of the wheat festival are helpful in trying to trace all the stages of a phenomenon that over the years has acquired new meanings and adapted to new religious dictates. The origins of the ritual of offering grain to the deities are lost in the mists of time and date back to cults associated with agricultural life in pagan times and the sense of fear and insecurity associated with the precarious return of the lost seed. Indeed, the success of the harvest depends on superior forces beyond human control, such as adverse weather, so it is these forces that must be thanked for the abundant harvest and encouraged to be generous the following year with donations and devotion. The first historical records of the grain festival in Campania date back to the times of the Roman Empire. During the month of August, agricultural work was halted and Ceres, goddess of the harvest, was thanked with offerings and dances in the threshing floors, and propitiatory rites were performed for the coming harvest. Later, with the advent of Christianity, cartloads of grain were carried as offerings to a saint as a sign of devotion and gratitude for the harvest. This ritual perhaps conceals the questionable custom of the clergy, who during the feudal era forced farmers to donate part of their harvest. It was during this period that the first attempts to weave straw into decorations emerged. Even today, thanksgiving for the harvest is dedicated to the saints and Madonnas to whom the inhabitants of various Campanian towns still attached to agricultural traditions are devoted: the Madonna del Carmine in San Marco dei Cavoti, the Madonna Incoronata in San Bartolomeo in Galdo, the Assunta in Fontanarosa, and the Addolorata in Mirabella Eclano, towns where the female deities of the fields have been revived in the Christian figure of the Madonna.
