==Traditions== A [[Naples|Neapolitan]] and [[Southern Italy|Southern Italian]] tradition, extended to [[Italian diaspora|Southern Italian diaspora]] communities and other [[Romance-speaking Europe|Latin culture]] countries, is the [[Greasy pole|Cockaigne pole]] (Italian: cuccagna; Spanish: cucaña), a horizontal or vertical pole with a prize (like a [[ham]]) at one end. The pole is covered with grease or soap and planted during a festival. Then, daring people try to climb the slippery pole to get the prize. The crowd laughs at the often failed attempts to hold on to the pole.
