Wish you the best "Baci Ceremony"

BACI at WIKIPEDIA

I know Baci as the string tying ceremony.  It's a ceremony, traditionally held before noon, to celebrate special events such as birthdays, marriages etc.  Other events may be to honor the arrival or departure of visitors and friends, recovery from sickness, seeking a medical cure. A longtime neighborhood friend recently lost a leg due to a sporting accident. His family held a  'Wish you the Best' Baci ceremony. Some of the folk I see on a daily basis, others I see less often.  To me it was also a bit of  a reunion party. The lottery is generally not part of the ceremony. It's something I like to do among certain friends on special occasions
