Every town in Maremma Laziale (and in Italy when it comes to it) celebrates its patron saint once a year (or even more times, depending on the number of parishes and churches). You'll find that the locals decorate their balconies and gardens with coloured banners and banting, often splitting the town into factions made obvious by the colours or motifs.

This is commonly the occasion for various races (such as the Palio Delle Contrade in Allumiere), music in the square and other events (e.g. the Feast day of St. Bernardino in Piansano when the local flag-throwers provide a colourful exhibition of the skills: they've been Italian champions for the last four years!).
