The Unusual Palio Della Rana or Frog Races

The Unusual Palio Della Rana or Frog Races | Good Things From Italy - Le Cose Buone d'Italia | Scoop.it

When people think of palio competitions, they often think of the famous horse race for the Palio of Siena but many Italian towns hold palio contests. One of the more unusual races is the Palio della Rana, frog races, held in the town of Fermignano, between Urbino and Urbania in central Italy's Marche region. Participants, dressed in medieval costume, each push a cart (similar to a wheelbarrow) with the frog sitting atop a plank and try to reach the finish line before the frog hops off. As is common during palio competitions, there's also a historical procession before the races and food.

The Palio della Rana is usually held the weekend following Easter so this year it's the first weekend of April. Since it's been a very wet March, there should be plenty of frogs!

A craftsman’s workshop which sells pipes directly on the web
Maurizio Tombari,  a pipemaker, who opened a workshop in Pesaro in 1996, where he created the ‘Le Nuvole’ line, using the internet since 1998 to propose the creations to an international public. Besides the sales point, the web-site offers each visitor the possibility of a personal, direct contact. Pipes, like clouds, unrepeatable and light in weight The long, laborious attention to dedicate to each pipe, compels to limit the production to no more than 180-200 examples a year.
