Sulmona,
Native land of Ovidio, poet of the love, who right here was born in the 43 B.C. and land of   Confetti (sugar -coated almonds)

Easter,
The representation of Sunday Easter (“The Madonna running in Square”) takes place  around Midday in the scenario of  Piazza Garibaldi, full of  people laughing and applauding from the audience within and around the square and we also have the moving embrace of the four runners who are elected year after year. From the good performance, the right falling of the black cloth and from the pigeon flying, the citizens of Sulmona derive wishes for the new season and the next future of the city. It is the most moving moment of the entire Easter period and the citizens live it between hope and tension.

The Chivalry Joust

Each knight represent one of the old Borghi or Sestieri, which divided the medieval Sulmona and which today are newly a point of reference for the citizens of the old town centre.
A 400 walks-ons historic row, composed of flag-wavers, drummers, "chiarine"-players ( a medieval wind instruments), ladies and armigers, all in a medieval style, presents the knights and the city insigna.
