Every year on Good Friday, which is the Friday before Easter, a procession is held through the torch-lined streets of the old town. The participants wear masks and are dressed in the colours of their parish. Only men and children may take part. The procession also shows the symbols of the various stations of the cross (lance, rooster, cross, etc.) and is accompanied by an amazing choir. It is the most important procession of its kind in the Abruzzo region.
