- The Race of the Saints takes place every year in only two places in the world: Gubbio, Italy and Jessup, PA. Sean's team is St. George, so the video is about them. If you are a ceraioli di San Giorgio and would like a higher quality copy, please contact me.
FYI- The saints are St. Ubaldo (yellow), St. George (blue) and St. Anthony (black). The platforms weigh about 500 pounds. We carry the platforms in teams of ten, and switch on a dead run. It is very dangerous, so please do not attempt to do this at home. We are professionals.
Viva San Giorgio!
We do carry the candles in Jessup- my great grandmother came from Perugia. Most of our town's grandparents came from Gubbio, Perugia, & other towns in Nochero Umbria! Thank you for your comments! I hope you like the video and I hope to visit Gubbio and see the ceri there. Thanks!
No disrespect intended, paisan. We learned the importance of the tradition from Gubbio, and we have all the love and respect in the world for the old ways. We celebrate in our own way, but it's the same at heart. [Nessuna mancanza di rispetto destinato, Paisà. Abbiamo imparato l'importanza della tradizione da Gubbio, e abbiamo tutto l'amore e il rispetto del mondo per i vecchi modi. Noi celebriamo a modo nostro, ma è la stessa cosa a cuore.]
This video clip has captured a great deal of emotion! Well done!

I think I understand: The festa is on 15 Maggio in Gubbio, but we have it on Memorial Day weekend here so that many people from Jessup can go to Gubbio for the festa. Memorial Day is usually about two weeks after the Gubbio festa. It is the same festival, though.
Thanks!
I remember you. You might have known my dad- Lou Camoni. Coached Valley View basketball. Thanks for the feedback.
Thanks. Good cameramen.
My Italian is very poor, but my town of Jessup has many immigrants from Gubbio and Perugia, from Umbria. My great-grandmother came from Perugia. We run to honor them and their home. Many people from Jessup, PA, USA are in Gubbio now, waiting for the original race. Thank you for watching my video!
You are welcome! Grazi!
Very well done. I live on Church...my house had a huge American flag on it!
Thanks! Glad your dog is home safe!
Grazi!
Yep- Alive & well!
Immigrants from Gubbio and Perugia (I don't know exactly who) brought the statues and the tradition of the ceri to Jessup in 1911. They were very poor, but somehow they did it. Jessup was part of the coal mining communities of Pennsylvania, so they were hardworking people who loved their culture. I'm grateful they did! My Nona was from Perugia - Feliceta Ferri - her mother's family were the Marinangeli - Where are you from?
It's a thing of beauty, enna?
Thanks brother.
Still the best! 💙 FORZA! 🇮🇹
It’s a long way to the top if you wanna run with George 🎵
We are in Pennsylvania, in the northeast mountains near Scranton. I sent you a message with more info. Thanks!
Someday, I will come God willing. Many of our friends and neighbors go each year.
Grandi !!
There is no winner in Jessup either. I may have presented it in an unclear manner. The celebration at the end is only that the race is finished, and the difficult course is accomplished. My family runs with San Giorgio, so I focussed on them. The voices in the background speak of being part of 800 years of history and a great family of tradition. Thank you for your feedback.
Who's your cousin? (PM if privacy is a concern)
I do not claim that we invented it, only that our fathers brought the candles to America, so we carry them. I understand that you don't like the rock music, and to be honest, I would probably never put that music under pictures of the race in Gubbio. It's different. But for us, the music means something different. No disrespect intended.
Grazi! When you come visit, ask for Camoni! We'll toast some vino!
If you make it - ask for Sean on St. George. I'll buy you a brew. If I'm in any condition to recall this exchange.
Da eugubino mi ci viene da piangere a vedere la mia festa così snaturata... Occhiali da sole stile tamarreide, musica rock, strisce intorno la testa... Vi inviterei a venire a Gubbio a vederla in prima persona per capire bene cosa è la festa. Scusate che scrivo in italiano, se cè qualcuno che sa tradurre lo faccia.
Yeah, manly men.
que ese zitto?
Yeah, they invented the race 800 years ago in Italy so we could drink in Jessup. Good one, chuck. I'll be sure to tell the 20,000 people who show up again this year that you think they're actually not having a good time. But by all means, don't come. If you do, be sure to introduce yourself.
I invite you to come to Gubbio to see the real Corsa that is a different than yours...Whatch the video on you tube...
sono americana, nata a Jessup e i miei nonni sono nati a Gubbio. ora vivendo a Firenze...ma che dire, e` ovvio l'avete inventata. e si, questa festa non e` proprio la stessa che fanno a Gubbio, pero, come lo sai, noi americani facciamo tutto al nostro modo. ;) l'unica cosa k non mi piace e` che ci son tanti di Jessup che non sono mai andati a Gubbio...ne` in Italia, e si comportono in un modo stereotipico,tipo "Il Padrino".
cmq, in generale mi piace questo video xke` mi ricorda tanto casa mia...
C'ha colpa chi ve ce l'ha portati i ceri a jessup... ma penso che anche quei 4 poretti emigrati non potevano pensà che sarebbe finita cossì... W San Giorgio!
fa schifo la festa de jessup quella de gubbio è 300000000000000000000000000000000000000 volte piu belle , e toqui i ceri n cadono mai e w san giorgio!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Grazi!
