Montone, Perugia, historical events

Santa Spina Donation

Throughout the course of the year in Montone you will be able to attend various cultural initiatives and folkloric events of great importance and recall as the famous re-enactment of the "Donation of the Holy Thorn", the Review of the Forging Masters Blacksmiths, the Festival of Music Bands , the Forest Festival, the Umbria Film Festival, and many others.

The historical re-enactment of the Holy Pushing is linked to the donation by Carlo Fortebracci of a Thorn of the Crown of Christ to the Montonese people decreeing their feast on Easter Monday; the historical re-enactment, attracts a large number of people every year: the week preceding the penultimate Sunday in August, in fact, is all dedicated to her.

On the occasion of the feast, Montone, celebrates the ancient splendor in the County of Fortebracci: the districts in which the country is divided compete with calls for challenge, medieval performances and they try archery, to win the Palio and elect their Castellana.

The town becomes a natural theater, bell tower divides the districts and the joy dominates in the taverns always ready to offer a tasty hot dish and a good glass of wine.

A prominent event for Montone is the Umbria Film Festival, which takes place in July, a national and international film festival with big names of directors and directors actors.
