I Ceri - Enjoy&Share

I Ceri - Enjoy&Share is a multimedia installation in Gubbio dedicated to the Festa dei Ceri, the city's annual tradition honouring Sant'Ubaldo, San Giorgio and Sant'Antonio.

Why it matters

The Festa dei Ceri is a central expression of Gubbio's civic and religious identity. The multimedia installation preserves and interprets the festival's history, objects and ritual practices.

What to notice

Audio, images and testimonies from ceraioli present the preparations and ceremonies associated with the festival. The interpretation covers the Ceri, the three saint figures and the customary sequence of the celebration.

Context and history

The installation is operated by Gubbio Cultura e Multiservizi as part of the city's cultural services. The Festa dei Ceri is linked to the cult of Sant'Ubaldo, the twelfth-century bishop of Gubbio who died in 1160. The three Ceri are preserved in the Basilica of Sant'Ubaldo when not in use for the festival.
