Doberman Breeding Social Championship
by Associazione Nazionale Amatori Doberman
The 55th Race of the Vaporetti, a race at breakneck speed through upper Spoleto, will be held from June 14th to June 16th 2019.
The thrilling final of the race will take place on June 16th along the winding streets of the old town.
Vaporetti are small carts on iron wheels, with a team of two, a pusher and a driver. The name comes from a steam-engine coach, the ‘vaporiera’, that from 1902 to 1909 used to serve the Spoleto-Norcia route, the first in Italy.
The race, which takes place along the streets that cross the historic city centre, has established itself as a successful local tradition, attracting every year an increasing number of spoletini and visitors.
Organization: Associazione Corsa dei Vaporetti di Spoleto ASD, in collaboration with AVIS Spoleto.

OUT OF THE PALACE – If I want to have fun, I READ
The Municipal Library promotes the culture of reading among children and families within the framework of Il Maggio dei libri, an event now in its 9th edition, promoted by the Centre for Books and Reading of the Ministry of Cultural Heritage, with the contribution of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Ministry of University and Research.
Books for children and teenagers will be on display: books in cloth and cardboard, small stories, sound books, pop-ups, tactile books, and many others will offer children and parents an overview of the best literature dedicated to children, teenagers, parents, educators in general.
Information material will be distributed on the reading projects that the Library promotes in the area: Giocalibro with schools of all levels, Nati per leggere, and others…
The message of this year’s edition is READING AS FUN. In addition to books there will be games, memory tests and skills for children and adults who can “play” as helpers. Final prize: a surprise book for those who have proven to be a reader or who want to become one.
The initiative is carried out by the Municipal Library “G. Carducci” with the collaboration of Civil Service interns: Sara Antonelli, Saverio Baiocco, Eleonora Benedetti and Thomas Pompili.
