On 28 and 29 July, Piazza del Popolo becomes the beating heart of the Cavalcata dell’Assunta, with two evenings dedicated to Fermo’s ten districts. The Gallo d’Oro Trophy sees drummers compete in performances that combine rhythmic technique, historical bearing, synchronisation and choreography. The Bandiere al Vento Trophy, meanwhile, brings the flag-wavers to the stage, with throws, coordinated movements and team displays. Two spectacular events in which district pride, period costumes and the colours of the flags transform the square into a great open-air theatre.
