Maria Ceccobelli, San Pancrazio and the borders on the mountain

At the height of the door today there is a plaque devoted to one of the most brave womens of Calvi dell’Umbria: Maria Ceccobelli.

Following the tradition, at the time when Calvi contended in  Poggio di Otricoli the borders of the mountain which overlooked it, the boundaries arrived in front of the Church of San Pancrazio and took possession of the red banner during the celebration of the Patron.

In the turmoil that followed, it was Maria Ceccobelli to steal the drape hiding it in her lap. Along the way, stopped by armed Poggiani said that he brought home roses and, at the act of showing the contents of the dress, miraculously the banner turned into those flowers.

From that moment and after, the banners dedicated to the Saint became four: one for every of the four parishes, but the red one, which every year is taken in procession on the mountain dedicated to the Patron, is the symbol of the possession of the mountain by Calvi.
