Corsa dei Ceri in Gubbio     
    The Ceri Race Festival 2007 and the competition of the Crossbow of Gubbio are traditions of great importance in the panorama of the regional events under the folkloric point of view as well as the strictly historic one.Both events have been organized without any interruption since the last years of the XIIth century; every year, on 15th May, the streets of Gubbio are full of colors, with thousands of Gubbio citizens leading the three Candles .
The entire city of Gubbio lives in a suggestive medieval atmosphere with the dressed exhibitions, the demonstrations of the "sbandieratori" and the caves opened to hosts.

Calendimaggio in Assisi     
    It is a spectacular evocation of medieval and Renaissance costumes and life. The two ancient medieval wards, the "Parte di Sopra" and the "Parte di Sotto", engage in a spectacular challenge which takes the form of theatre shows, concerts, songs and choruses, dances, processions, archery, crossbow and flag-waving displays. The districts compete in a singing contest among the spectacular floral decorations, flags, torches and candles.

Infiorata di Spello - floral decorations   
    The "floral decorations" are floral compositions representing liturgical figurations and ornamental motifs. The preparations require weeks of work but the compositions are completed with fresh flowers during the course of a single night. By using only strongly scented flowers and grasses, figures and ornamental motifs of brilliant colours and subtle shades are obtained. The floral decorations are the chef-d'oeuvre of Spello's artistic creativity and, with their colours and fragrances, create a highly evocative sight in the streets of the city.
