In Cioropcani, a folk festival honoured the well-diggers: eight water craftsmen from four villages

On Sunday, 19 July, the village of Cioropcani hosted the folk festival “La Fântânița din Sat” (At the Village Well), organised by the Pîrlița District Culture Centre together with the town hall, under the auspices of the Ungheni District Culture and Tourism Department. Alongside traditional costumes and folk ensembles, the celebration brought an unusual guest to the stage: the well-diggers — eight craftsmen from Cioropcani, Pîrlița, Petrești and Zagarancea, the people who draw water from the ground. A few days earlier, the village’s young people had cleaned and whitewashed a well.
