Wind in May - Lorenzo Della Fonte

The march Wind in May (Vento di Maggio) was composed to celebrate the famous 'Festa dei Ceri' in Gubbio (Umbria), one of the oldest Italian folklore display. This is a solemn act of devotion towards the city patron Saint Ubaldo. On 15th May, people carry three big candles (more than 3, 5 m high), running all around the town and up mountain. 'Wind in May' won the 2nd International Composition Contest for Marches, who took place in Gubbio in 2009.
