Frequently Asked Questions
The most useful answers before coming to Pietralunga.
The vast majority of events and shows are free and open to all. The boroughs' taverns have their own menu prices for food and drinks. For any specific paid events, please check the official program once it is available.
The Corsa del Biroccio takes place on Sunday afternoon, starting around 17:30 (5:30 PM) in Piazza Fiorucci. The time is approximate and subject to confirmation. Sunday is the most intense day: we recommend arriving in the morning for the Holy Mass and the ceremonies.
Most of the evening shows — the historical procession, the races, the burning of the fortress — take place in Piazza Fiorucci and Piazza VII Maggio. Traveling shows bring the alleys of the historic center to life from the afternoon on.
