Participants present themselves during the 15th edition of Ballo delle Debuttanti June 30, 2013, in Cordenons, Italy. The ball hosted 38 debutants that were accompanied by members from the 31st Fighter Wing, the the Italian army and other local Italians. The dance is a tradition dating back to the 1800s that introduces women into society when they are considered mature enough, typically by 17 to 18 years of age. (Evelyn Chavez/U.S. Air Force)
