Somar Lungo, the traditional Easter Monday trip to the Sanctuary “delle Grazie” on Covignano hill, is usually dedicated to a theme dear to the city and its traditions and it is characterized by a parade of carriages and bicycles.
The event recalls a tradition dating back to the eighteenth century which has been rediscovered in recent years and has now reached its thirteenth edition.
The initiative is organized by the 'Zeinta di Borg' Association.
Departure at 8.45 am from the beach area (Caffè delle Rose) and arrival at the Santuario delle Grazie at round 1 pm.
Many initiatives are organized in the afternoon: comedy show and clownery, for adults and children, a visit to the Museo degli Sguardi (Rimini's Ethnographic Collections), open for the occasion with a guided tour from 3 to 5 pm. The Holy Mass will follow and conclude the day.
