I arrived back on Sunday at lunchtime, the weekend when Todi celebrates its patron saint, St. Fortunatus. I missed the archery, disappointingly, but was able to see some of my favorite events other than that (flag wavers, procession, raptors, and market).
This year, there were more than 1000 participants in the procession! That meant that they weren't able to finish starting off everyone before the leaders had looped back and finished their parade. Next year, I suspect they'll have to lengthen the parade route.
The weather was beautiful, which also helped increase the number of spectators, much to our delight!

We loved seeing how the young
ones were included in the overall groups, not separated out

The beat of the drums was constant.
And LOUD! |

This was my greeting: the
scouts had built this structure
at the bottom, next to Consolazione |
Love,
