Festivity - Montone town of Umbria - Festival of the woods: a fair of the products of the woods and undergrowth from 27 october to 29 october...

Historical recalling of the deeds of the count Carlo de’ Fortebracci, who drove the Moors from the borders of the Serenissima, when he fought at the side of the republic of Venice in 1473, and he received as a sign of thankfulness and recognition a thorn from the crown Jesus Christ wore on his head in the last moments of his worldly life. Carlo Fortebracci came back to Montone and gave the holy thorn as a present to the people, who kept it in the church Chiesa di San Francesco dei Minori Conventuali. The medieval performance in period costumes commemorates this episode while during the Palio of the holy thorn the bowmen of the three quarters Porta del Verziere, Porta del Monte and Porta del Borgo compete for the victory.
