The Chiesa di San Giuliano added an unexpected cultural highlight to my walk. This historic church preserves the figurines for the famous Good Friday procession, a deep-rooted ritual that keeps local tradition alive. The plain facade belies the rich history that dates back to the Middle Ages. Inside, you can feel a special atmosphere that invites you to pause. A local told me about the preparations for the procession, which made my visit even more interesting. A detour here is worth it to get an authentic insight into the region's culture.
