Events

Pacentro, beyond its natural beauties that can be landscapes, historical, cultural and gastronomic events, is characterized from spiritual and folkloristic festivities and recurrences that grew up in the course of the years. The main festivity that is unique in the world for its strange and “cruel” characteristic, is "Race of the Zingari" where the boys of the country make a contest in coming down from a mountain with bared feet

This race has ancient origins: seems that the nobles once, involved the young people in this contest in order to choose the strongest among them.
This ancient tradition is renewed every year, the first Sunday of September, following the same path and the same rules of years ago.
