The Corsa dei Ceri (Ceri’s race) is one of the oldest, if not the most remote, celebration of the Italian rite. For many centuries it lives every year on May 15th in Gubbio (Perugia, Umbria Region) and still has a fundamental role for the Eugubine community. It is a solemn act inspired by the devotion of the Eugubians to their Bishop Ubaldo Baldassini, from May 1160, the year of his death. The wax candles, offered by the guilds of Arts and Crafts, were replaced towards the end of the 16th century with three wooden structures formed by two octagonal prisms superimposed and reinforced by an internal frame also made of wood and crossed by an axis that at the bottom it fits on a support called "stretcher" which allows it to be carried on the shoulder. The Ceri, rebuilt several times, have come down to our days in their original form. On the top there are three small statues representing the patron saints of the corporations: S. Ubaldo (patron and protector of the city) for the masons and the clergy, S. Giorgio for the merchants and artisans and S. Antonio for the farmers and students. A ritual that is lived every year thanks to a multitude of faces, looks, gestures, voices and passions. The ritual is consummated in an irrepressible explosion of faith and civic identity passion. The identification of the environment of Gubbio with the festival is so great that the Umbria Region has included the Ceri of Gubbio as an official symbol in its banner.
