On
June 2, two hundred of Manlio Fani’s
beautiful horses will begin to pass through thirteen municipalities of the
Sabina to reach by the following
Saturday their summer pastures on
Mount Terminillo. They will depart from Portovecchio
of Ponzano and pass
through the territories of
Stimigliano, Tarano, Torri, Vacone,
Montasola, Cottanello, Contigliano, Morro, Rivodutri, Cantalice, Rieti and Micigliano.
On June 2, the day of departure,
there will be the traditional opening
party and from that day will
begin the parade of horses
for a whole week, crossing rivers and
streams. It is an arduous journey and people in all municipalities involved must prepare for the transition, because you often have to find alternative travel routes.

In
case you are interested in photographing this epic annual event we will try to direct you to some
observation points.
For now we can say that on June 2 the transhumance will pass nearby Vecchio Forno, the bridge area of Aja and will head to the medieval Sanctuary of Vescovio where they will stop for lunch around 13:00. Then the path continues along paths in the hills and mountains arriving the following day in Montasola. Happy photographing!
