The Procession of the Dead Christ, organized on Good Friday by the "Brotherhood of the Holy Cross of Foce", a symbolic representation of the Passion of Christ which has been repeated traditionally for centuries. 
The procession starts with members of the Brotherhood in sackcloth playing the 'battistrangole', instruments that produce a rattling noise, and others that carry the skull symbolizing the Golgotha ??and the symbols of the Passion. Then come the effigies of the dead Christ and Our Lady of Sorrows, valuable wooden sculptures of local craftsmen, behind them the singers of the Miserere intone their chant, passed down through the centuries by oral tradition. The procession goes through the main streets of the city, starting at sunset from the Church of the Holy Cross of Foce. Big bonfires are lit in various places along the route. 

The Race of the Ceri is perhaps traceable to ancient pagan rituals, but only its Christian character and celebration in honor of St. Ubaldo is historically proven by documents. The three Ceri have been hired as an emblem in the coat of arms of Regione Umbria. 
The Festival starts May 15, the eve of the anniversary of St. Ubaldo, patron saint of the city (May 16): between the wings cheering crowds from all over the world the "ceraioli," men dressed in bright colors, bring racing to shoulder three enormous wooden structures hoisted above on stretchers, each surmounted by a statue of a saint (the patron saint, St. Ubaldo, St. Anthony Abbot and St. George, symbolized by the colors yellow, black and blue) through the streets of the city and up the Basilica of St. Ubaldo on top of Mount Ingino, making sure that the St. Ubaldo arrive and enter the basilica always first. The Ceri are placed inside the Basilica of Sant’Ubaldo, whereas the small statues of the three saints are brought back in the city in torchlight procession with chants. 

In XIII cent. Gubbio hosted St. Francis of Assisi, and of those times is the legend of the wolf of Gubbio, ferocious man-eater (for some not an animal but a bloodthirsty outlaw) that the saint would have tamed - in the place where now stands the church of Vittorina - and would be adopted by the people of Gubbio, which would then treated and fed as a pet until his death.
