HISTORY
Corsa dei Ceri history is one of the oldest of Italy.
There are two
hypotheses about It: one is religious the other pagan.
The religious one goes back to Patron Saint Ubaldo and his date of death: 15th of May 1160.
The pagan one goes back to the celebration of Cerere,
goddess of the harvest.
