Continuing on from part one of our description of the best Easter festivals to attend in Italy, here are a few more exciting events you could witness! See the unusual ‘La Madonna Che Corre in Piazza’ which takes place in Sulmona, Abruzzo. This translates as ‘The Virgin Mary who races through the Square’!

At first she finds it hard to believe that he has been resurrected and ascended into heaven but when she realises and sees that he has risen from the dead, she races towards him!
