It's a unique event shows brings together an ornately decorated, well-lit tower that's topped with the patron saint of the city and is then carried all over town by a hundred men called "facchini," along a difficult path of more than one kilometre.
Dressed in white and red, with a pirate handkerchief on their head, the porters receive a blessing from the bishop because they are demonstrating a moment of great danger. It's a test of strength and faith towards the patron saint of the city, who died in 1251 at eighteen.
