Photo Series on Gubbio- Part II
Continuing the photo series on Gubbio, here is a peek into the Festival of Candles. The festival takes place every year in Gubbio on May 15. These pictures will give you an insight on the atmosphere in Gubbio.
There are people clad in traditional dresses-- yellow, blue and black, along with a red flag tied to Their shoulder. ( I am a proud owner of the same flag)
The festival attracts a crowd of more than 150,000 every year and I am so happy That I was part of it in 2015. The crowd, the mayhem and spirit is addictive- I could go again someday just to feel it.
More details on the race of the festival soon!
