Feast of Saint Constantius

On 29 January Perugia celebrates its patron, and you can tell from the bakeries: out comes the torcolo di San Costanzo, a ring cake with pine nuts, aniseed, raisins and candied peel.
Feast of Saint Valentine
📅 Every year, on 14 February
The saint of lovers was this city's bishop, and 14 February is the day he died. Terni keeps him as its patron, with the basilica that holds his remains.
Feast of Saint Joseph
📅 Every year, on 19 March
Orvieto's patron is celebrated on 19 March. The two occasions that made the city famous are others: Corpus Christi, instituted here in 1264, and the Palombella at Pentecost.
Saint Ubaldo and the Race of the Candles
📅 Every year, the Ceri on 15 May, Saint Ubaldo on the 16th
On 15 May three wooden pillars crowned with statues of saints are carried at a run through Gubbio. It has happened every year since the twelfth century, and since 1973 those three are the emblem of Umbria.
Saint Rufinus and his palio
📅 Every year, on 12 August; the palio on the last Sunday of August
Assisi's patron is not Francis but Rufinus, celebrated on 12 August. On the last Sunday of the month the three districts compete with crossbows for the palio that carries his name.
