Corsa dei Ceri in Gubbio  The Ceri Race Festival and the competition of the Crossbow of Gubbio are traditions of great importance in the panorama of the regional events under the folkloric point of view as well as the strictly historic one.Both events have been organized without any interruption since the last years of the XIIth century; every year, on 15th May, the streets of Gubbio are full of colors, with thousands of Gubbio citizens leading the three Candles . The entire city of Gubbio lives in a suggestive medieval atmosphere with the dressed exhibitions, the demonstrations of the "sbandieratori" and the caves opened to hosts. Calendimaggio in Assisi  It is a spectacular evocation of medieval and Renaissance costumes and life. The two ancient medieval wards, the "Parte di Sopra" and the "Parte di Sotto", engage in a spectacular challenge which takes the form of theatre shows, concerts, songs and choruses, dances, processions, archery, crossbow and flag-waving displays. The districts compete in a singing contest among the spectacular floral decorations, flags, torches and candles. Infiorata di Spello - floral decorations  The "floral decorations" are floral compositions representing liturgical figurations and ornamental motifs. The preparations require weeks of work but the compositions are completed with fresh flowers during the course of a single night. By using only strongly scented flowers and grasses, figures and ornamental motifs of brilliant colours and subtle shades are obtained. The floral decorations are the chef-d'oeuvre of Spello's artistic creativity and, with their colours and fragrances, create a highly evocative sight in the streets of the city. Festival of the Two Worlds in Spoleto  The Spoleto Festival, known as Festival of the two Worlds, is organized every year between the end of June and mid-July in the heart of Umbria . After that in 1958 Gian Carlo Menotti inaugurates the first edition, the Spoleto Festival becomes, year after year, a center of big interest for the performances of dance, prose and lyrics. The fact that the Maestro Menotti chooses personally the artists among the most talented professionals of the sector but also among the most promising young talents, has made of the Festival of the two Worlds an inexhaustible font of great professionals of the world of spectacle. Perugia Palazzo dei Priori  Palazzo dei Priori is one of the most superb exemples of medieval architecture in Italy . This was where city justice and administration were dispensed . A sign of the power and amibtion of the Commune of Perugia ,its long period of construction lasted from 1293,during the city's greatest splendour,until 1443 and is reflected in its irregular appearance .The result is an unusual elegance .
