Castiglione in Teverina. Threshing Festival

At the beginning of July wheat harvesting is celebrated in Castiglione in Teverina.

The countryside and the historic centre come alive with the noise of the tractors and the "Trebbia" (threshing) activities and the siren that marks the hundred quintals (quintal is 100 kg).

In the evening the bush comes to life with a dinner table laden with traditional games and dances.
