Celebrations

Sant'Osvaldo

Cerro people used to celebrate their saint protector, Saint Oswald, every 5 August with a religious ceremony in the main church. In addition, the celebration lasts a pair of days with local food stands (in particular typical salami and cheese) and popular fairs.

Fragolosa

Also known as Festa della fragola (Strawberry festival), it's the most important event concerning a typical fruit of the zone, strawberry (in Italian fragola). It's the most awaited celebration after Giocondo's death. Fragolosa is mainly celebrated on the second weekend of July and it's one week long. A lot of stands are exposed, especially in the Piazza Alferia, the largest square of the town.

gollark: Evil idea: mix ZWS-encoded data into text so you can... persist data through copy/pasting I guess?
gollark: Some of those are visible, though, look. As spaces.
