Ischia di Castro. Grand Prix of the "Carrettelle"

In August in Ischia di Castro, the Grand Prix of the Carrettelle - Gran Premio delle carrettelle takes place, an unusual race that involves all citizens.

The 'Carrettelle' are handcrafted vehicles (billycarts) without a motor that move thanks to the natural slope of the narrow streets of the old town.

The race was born in the 80’s as a pastime of the young people and today has evolved into a ‘Grand Prix’.
