A woman poses with her snakes before the procession of St Dominic in the village of Cocullo, central Italy, on May 1st, 2024, as part of the traditional festival of the “Serpari” (snake catchers). All the snakes found days before the festival are identified with a microchip, measured, weighed and subjected to laboratory tests by biologists as part of a study on the sensitivity of snakes to seismic movements. Each first of May the small village of Cocullo honors St. Dominic di Sora, patron saint protecting against snakebites and toothache. Photo by Tiziana Fabi/AFP Photo)
