Stop At: Piazza Grande, Gubbio Italy
Gattapone, a native son of Gubbio, designed the beautiful Piazza Grande and the 14th century palaces which stand around it – one of the greatest projects of the Middle Ages. The square is also the starting point for an incredible race called the Corsa dei Ceri, which has been run almost every year since medieval times. Every May, teams from different neighbourhoods (“famiglie di ceraioli”) in the city race to carry a huge, one tonne “candle” topped with the replica of a local saint to the Basilica high above the town to the wild and enthusiastic shouting of townspeople and visitors alike.
