La Fugarena
La Fugarena is an ancient pagan harvest festival held in Piazza d'Armi, in the fortress city of Terra del Sole. The centrepiece is a huge bonfire, lit in ancient times to give thanks to the gods for the harvest.
These days the festivities attract more than 2000 competitors and
include events like cross-country running, children's art exhibitions,
markets, traditional games and performances by local bands (brass, not
indie...).
The many food stalls offer the visitor a chance to savour local delicacies, as well as the new wines of the year.
