The cedars Fair

in Italiano en Français

The chronicles narrate about the institution of the annual fair in 1461:
«Before entering the Town there is a suburb, in which the annual Fair is kept in the third Sunday of May, and is was founded the year 1461, famous for bovine Livestock, equine, and donkeys, and also for the commodities that the merchants transport to sell, and moreover the trees are growing, that a pleasant spherical walk they will shade.» Codoni, d. Cruciano, canonical, Cenni storici intorno alla terra di Valentano, p. 5.

Sembrano diversi anche i monumenti, in una cornice festosa e lontana dalla tranquillità di tutti i giorni

Also the monuments seem different, in a festive frame and distant from the calm of every day.

Da Santa Croce fino al centro è pieno di banchi di vendita e di gente
