レンティーニ湖ビビエールのおすすめランニングルート

From 9th to 11th May, feast of the Patron Saints Alfio, Filadelfo and Cirino. Among the crucial moments of the festival we remember the exit of the Nuri (naked): At 1:00 on May 10th the Nuri riding the Giro Santo. They are bare-chested, barefoot men, wearing only a pair of short white trousers and a red ribbon, holding one hand behind their back and a candle or a bouquet of flowers in the other. They run through the streets of Lentini remembering the tour that the Holy Martyrs made, amidst atrocious suffering, around the ancient city walls. The women also arrive behind them, barefoot.

Lentini ('Lintini' in Sicilian) is a baroque city located in the Catania Plain, on the slopes of the Iblei Mountains. Founded by the Sicani, it was in the past a Greek and Roman colony, conserving notable archaeological remains. It was one of the main cultural, religious and agricultural centers of Sicily, known for the production of ancient grain and, more recently, of Sicilian Blood Orange. Characteristic is the production of Lentini bread, a mixture of water and durum wheat flour. The city is also notable for its rich archaeological and architectural sites.

Carlentini - Carruntini in Sicilian - is a municipality in the free municipal consortium of Syracuse. Positioned on the Colle Meta Grande, it borders with Lentini and is close to the Piana di Catania and the Lake of Lentini. The city is at the foot of Monte Pancali and Monti Iblei. Carlentini is famous for the production of the blood orange of Sicily, together with Lentini and Francofonte.
