Places of remembrance and local history

The stele “Stele a ricordo eccidio Cerqueto di Gualdo Tadino” is located in the vicinity of Cerqueto, in the Cerqueto-Anguillara locality on Strada Provinciale 245 between Gualdo Tadino and Perugia. It commemorates the killing, carried out as a reprisal, of several partisans from the Gruppo di Azione Antifascista Gualdese. For travelers interested in history, the stele thus points to the Gualdo resistance and a specific event in the region’s history.

Park, bocce and Maria Spigarelli

The Parco di Via Lussemburgo in the Cerqueto district has a bocce court created by numerous volunteers. The park on Via Lussemburgo in the Cerqueto district is named after Maria Spigarelli, whose nickname was “Meri.” Maria Spigarelli was a partisan and a prominent figure in the Gualdo resistance. This place therefore brings together a community-created bocce court and the memory of a person from the history of the resistance.

Events between music and festival culture

The event “Note d’Inverno” was created through collaboration with Pro Loco Cerqueto. Since its first edition in 2011, “Note d’Inverno” has been held under the patronage of the Umbria Region.

In the Cerqueto district, the folk festival “Sagra della Barbozza e delle Carni alla Brace” was scheduled to take place from 26 June to 5 July 2026. For 2026, “The Real Remember Papillon” was also announced in Cerqueto as a dance evening held as part of this festival. At the announced event, Sauro was to play exclusively original vinyl records from that period. This links the festival date to a clearly defined dance and music format.

A specific connection to sport

As part of a territorial development program of the FIGC, an U15/U14 session of ASD Calcio Gualdo Next Gen was scheduled for 9 January 2025 at the Campo Sportivo di Cerqueto in Gualdo Tadino, Via Mattarella.
