For great Umbria holidays you can’t miss the very amazing festival of the “Ceri di Gubbio”, it is a very old festival, born around about 1200. To our mind it has nothing to envy to “Palio di Siena”, even better. It takes place the 15th may of every year. For three days everything in Gubbio stops. You will be carried in another era. Really excting, absolutely to experience it, at least once!
