In a medieval festival in honour of San Bernardino, the townspeople re-enact the art of balestra (crossbow) followed by a historical parade.
During the medieval celebration in the piazza in front of the Duomo, eight balestrieri (archers) participate from each of the town districts: Cittanuova, Cittavecchia and Borgo.
