Culture
[edit]The principal traditions are the San Biagio feast on 3 February with the playing of the Morra and the distribution of bread to all the Inhabitants, the Santa Pia feast on 14 August, the Ferragosto festivity on 15 August and the Sagra delle Sagne alla Z'Flmen on 16 August.
Formerly the four quarters (Rioni) challenged themselves in the "Palio dei Rioni" and "Palio degli Asini" (donkey race around the football pitch) games, but they are currently not organized because of economic problems.
