Festa sel senturel

Traditional bocce competition along the municipal roads

Popular festival. The day after the celebration of the Madonna della cintura, it is the turn of the Senturel, which has nothing sacred about it. It is said that it all began many years ago from the veterans of the Marian celebrations: after mass, it was all about going in and out of the tavern. The night was spent wherever it happened, and in the morning everyone would meet again to start over. They would then take up the balls and begin an endless game along the streets of the municipality, stopping at all the taverns.

This tradition still takes place today, and along the streets of the village, it is possible to participate in this annual great playful and folkloric game of bowling, better known as Senturel.
