The Gragnanella-Filicaia-Casatico company, led by Piergiorgio Lenzi, draws its members from a number of small villages on the western bank of the Serchio River above Castelnuovo Garfagnana, including Gragnanella, the main performance venue for the annual series sponsored by the Centro Tradizioni Popolari della Provincia di Lucca. The leader of the company, Piergiorgio Lenzi, acts as prompt and also delivers a speech before most performances. The Maggio text performed on this occasion "Licia la schiava di Roma" (Licia the Roman Slave) was written by Giuliano Bertagni, and is one of a small number of currently performed Maggio texts with classical rather than chivalrous themes.
