Gubbio’s history pre-dates the Roman Empire to when it was, as Ikuvium, a major town for the ancient Umbrians. Now a city of 30,000, Gubbio has historical attractions spanning many periods. The 14th-century Palazzo dei Consoli houses Umbria’s largest collection of Roman artifacts. Gubbio’s most important date is May 15. Every year for centuries on that day, the Corsa dei Ceri has taken place: Three teams of twenty, each carrying three large wooden statues, race through the streets.

Located on the ground floor of Palazzo dei Canonici
An interesting big barrel, notable (according to the very helpful Francesco who was working in the shop alongside) for being only one of two large barrels in the world with bands made of wood, with this one being the largest and oldest. I'll take his word for that, I'm not into barrels enough to find out. The shop (manned by the aforementioned Francesco) was well stocked with reasonably priced touristy stuff (magnets, postcards and suchlike) and he also gave us a few much appreciated pointers on the best things to see in Gubbio. Thanks Francesco!

The legend says that if a man makes three laps around the fountain, he becomes mad. My little kid loved the legend. It is in one of the most picturesque places of Gubbio and it is a nice place to keep the children busy with a nice legend.
