»» Norcia, Umbria, Welcomes the Spring with Benedictine Celebrations
A couple of weeks after the truffle festival, again the mountain town of Norcia, in Umbria, is hosting another important event.
On March 20 and 21, Norcia celebrates the Spring with the celebrations of its patron saint, Saint Benedict. Because of Saint Benedict is also patron saint of Europe, the night of March 20, ambassadors of several European nations meet in Norcia and wait for the torchlit procession to arrive from one of the European capitals.
On March 21, the city evokes its ancient past with medieval themed celebrations.
