The "Corsa dei Ceri" (Ceri Race) is one of the oldest Italian rite celebration. For many centuries, it has lived to the streets every year on May 15 in Gubbio (Perugia) and still has a fundamental role for the community of Gubbio. A ritual that is lived thanks to a multitude of faces, looks, gestures, voices and passions. The celebration is consumed in an irrepressible explosion of faith and civic identity passion.
