The result of an exciting investigation, the exhibition traces an unprecedented history, from the mysterious origins of the headdress to the consecration around 1890 of the diaichotte, patriotic and folkloric effigy, under the aegis of influential artists and politicians. The popular success of a nascent tradition will no longer be denied. From a cycling race to a young cosmetics brand and the essential folk groups, the image of the diaichotte, constantly revisited, remains an undisputed symbol of the territory.
