Traditions

"Maggio delle Ragazze" (May of the Girls). The event takes place every three years in two different moments. The first is during the night between 30 April and 1 May, and the second is usually the second Sunday of May. During the first part, the village's young men sing traditional refrains (hymns to spring and youth) in order to wish for a good season of prosperity and happiness.
