Corsa degli Zingari 2026

Pacentro (AQ)

Every first weekend of September, Pacentro renews an ancient ritual: the Corsa degli Zingari. Participants, barefoot, challenge each other in a race that climbs from the historic center to the Sanctuary of the Madonna di Loreto, combining athleticism and devotion in a single, intense event. The tradition, handed down for centuries, mixes sacred and profane: the effort of the climb becomes an act of faith, while the village comes alive with celebration and colors. The event attracts believers, curious visitors, and folk tradition enthusiasts every year.
