Festival del Folklore della Valnestore

Piazza Umberto 1 came alive at 9.30 pm once again last night. This time we were well entertained by a display of folk dancing with the music and incredible energy of the folkloric dancers. This was the 4th edition of the Festival del Folklore della Valnestore with the Umbria Folk group and visiting dance groups from around Europe. 

These men and women did traditional dances such as the tarantella and others which told the stories of their traditions, and they wore traditional costumes. On a hot night and on the rough surface of the piazza, they danced themselves to exhaustion.









 Young and old were enthralled and much toe tapping and clapping was seen amongst the crowd that had gathered.
