Fauni

Description

THE ANCIENT FIRE RITUAL

Every perfume by Angela Ciampagna is a unique and numbered piece, crafted by hand with a dedication to excellence in every batch. The bottles and boxes, each marked with their individual serial number, reflect a commitment to quality and tradition.

The production of Fauni follows a small-scale manufacturing process, where artisanal methods are combined with innovative techniques to give the fragrances their distinctive smoky tones. Every detail, from the machined caps finished by hand to the individually applied labels, showcases the meticulous care taken at every stage of creation. The boxes are hand-lined and decorated, ensuring the authentic craftsmanship of the final product.

Fauni, inspired by the ancient Faugni ritual, revives a millennia-old tradition from the town of Atri. The term Fauni-Ignes derives from the ancient Latin Fauni-Ignes, meaning the fire of Faunus, symbolizing an ancient pagan practice that sought to invoke the blessings of Faunus, the god of fertility. Over the centuries, this tradition was embraced by Christianity.

During the celebration, bundles of burning reeds, bound with natural ropes, are carried in procession through the narrow streets of the picturesque village, lighting the night until dawn. The sounds of traditional music, the tolling of bells, prayers, and the aroma of wine blend together, creating a unique atmosphere where the sacred and the profane intertwine.

In Fauni, an ancient flower is covered in ashes, evoking the connection between past and present, light and dark. A perfume that captures not only the essence of fire but also the ritualistic spirit that illuminates the nights of Atri.
