- Gubbio is best known for its palio, the Corsa dei Ceri, a spectacular run held every year on May 15, in which three teams, devoted to S. Ubaldo (the patron saint of Gubbio), S. Giorgio, and S. Antonio, run through throngs of cheering supporters (clad in the distinctive colours of yellow, blue and black, with white trousers and red belts and neckbands), up much of the mountain from the main square in front of the Palazzo dei Consoli to the basilica of S. Ubaldo, each team carrying a statue of their saint mounted on a wooden octagonal prism, similar to an hour-glass shape 4 meters tall and weighing about 280 kilograms.
The race has strong devotional, civic, and historical overtones and is one of the best-known folklore manifestations in Italy; the Ceri were chosen as the heraldic emblem on the coat of arms of Umbria as a modern administrative region.
A celebration like the Corsa dei Ceri is held also in Jessup, Pennsylvania. In this small town the people carry out the same festivities as the residents of Gubbio do by "racing" the three statues through the streets. This remains an important and sacred event in both towns.
Gubbio was also one of the centres of production of the Italian pottery (maiolica), during the Renaissance. The most important Italian potter of that period, Mastro Giorgio, was active in Gubbio during the early 16th century.
The city is the setting for the popular story of St. Francis and the Wolf of Gubbio, recorded in the medieval Fioretti di San Francesco.

It is not just fun. La Corsa Dei Ceri is the story, the whole indentity of Gubbio and "eugubiini" (Gubbio cityzen's name). I live in Milan and my parents born in Gubbio but I never miss one 15 of May in my life. When the Ceri rise up in the morning all eugubini (me too...) become one person, one soul. We do not merely love it, we are it...
Please forgive my english...

*È qualche giorno che non dormo.*
Sarò malato? È COVID? È digestione? Sarà pure cattiva digestione ma è almeno una settimana e che cosa avrebbe dovuto sbrigare il mio stomaco.
*Stanotte accaldamento*. Sarà febbre? Misuro 36.7. Non e' febbre, è accaldamento.
*Poi una smania.*
*Suonano il campanello e mi precipito in piena notte*.
Apro e tre signori, uno dietro all'altro, tutti e tre insieme: *"Buongiorno e buonanotte, campa e dormi che l'equilibrio è responsabilità nostra, uno dietro l'altro, con rigore e disciplina, amore e passione da mille anni. Campa di giorno e dormi di notte, Campa e dormi"*
*Ed io non dimentico dal 24 aprile 2018 al 24 aprile 2019*
*uno dietro l'altro, con rigore e disciplina, amore e passione da mille anni:*
*Sant'Ubaldo*
*San Giorgio*
*Sant'Antonio*
E io non dimentico, sono con voi da Mantova e da Lecco

There's only ONE thing making us "italians": no standards.
