The patron saint's feast of Saint Sebastian is the most heartfelt moment of the year in Talana. The procession winds through the village streets with worshippers in traditional Ogliastran dress, followed by music from the organetto and launeddas, dancing in the square and communal banquets of roasted meats and local cheeses. A rite of social cohesion that has survived unchanged for centuries.
