"Il Più Veloce di Todi" is an annual running competition where five of the local elementary schools pit their three oldest grades against each other. Michael's running group sets up a track, timer, loudspeaker (oh, so loud!), and the kids are bused in or walk from their schools. It is just adorable to see them all jumping around, hugging each other, and cheering the others on!
We are amazed, as ever, by the way the Piazza is used and how creative people can be. The inflatable arch over the finish line must be tethered, but, oh, by the way...the Piazza is paved and doesn't exactly come with tie-down points. Solution: feed the string through and around the storm sewer grates!

| First school to show up...by the beginning of the races, all the steps were filled! |

| A little tethering...like pushing a noodle uphill |

| Ladies in waiting |
