The teams of the 4
historical quarters,
Santo Stefano, Duomo,
Port'Oria and
Castello, each with
its own colours and
symbols, challenge
each other, in order
to conquer the
sought after banner,
that from 1986 is
purposely realized
from artists of
international
reputation. Four are
the contests which
are to be disputed:
relay, tug-of-war,
bowshooting and
horse race.
The celebrations
will reach the top
on Saturday, when
the historical
centre will be
invaded by walk-ons
and street artists
that will gladden
the citadel
afternoon. In the
evening Piazza
Maggiore will see a
great number of
flag-wavers, nobles,
torch-light
processions,
bowshooting and
relay contests and
the imposing final
surprise show; on
Sunday it will be
possible to be
present at the
traditional Mass
with the presence of
His Excellency the
Bishop, and in the
afternoon to the
parade and quarter
contests. Grand
final with
proclamation and
consignment of the
Trophy to the
winning quarter. |
