The Most Beautiful Christmas in the Most Beautiful Village

Christmas in the Village of the Three Hills

"The Most Beautiful Christmas in the Most Beautiful Village" is the Christmas event that enlivens the historic center of Mondolfo every December. This town in the province of Pesaro and Urbino, in the Marche region, is part of the circuit of The Most Beautiful Villages in Italy. The initiative is organized by the Pro Loco Tre Colli Mondolfo APS and transforms the streets and squares of the village — from Via XX Settembre to Piazza del Comune, from Piazza Borroni to Via Mazzini — into a large festive village, designed for families and all generations.

The Biroccini, the Village's Craziest Race

The most anticipated moment of the event is the allegorical and fun competition of the Christmas Biroccini: a challenge between handcrafted carts that race down the slopes of the historic center, managed by the Montananicò group of the Pro Loco. Awards are given for the most beautiful biroccino, the fastest, and the most voted on social media, in a spirit of healthy rivalry among participants. The race is preceded by heats of the Xmas Race on a technical course and concludes with a final parade along the track.

Music, Games, and Santa Claus

Alongside the biroccini, the program includes games for children and adults, inflatables, entertainment, a square bocce tournament, and the awaited school concerts: children from the "P.G. Moretti" primary school and students from the "E. Fermi" middle school perform for the public. The arrival of Santa Claus, welcomed by the Gli Svalvolati group, is a must, as is the presence of Santa's house where children can leave their letters.

Flavors and Festive Atmosphere

Throughout the event, a food stand is set up offering chestnuts, hot chocolate with cookies, and mulled wine. These aromas accompany strolls among the village's lights and decorations. The event, with free admission, highlights Mondolfo's identity and its connection with the community, blending a modern interpretation of traditions with the spirit of friendship and collaboration that characterizes the Pro Loco Tre Colli.

An Event for the Entire Municipality

"The Most Beautiful Christmas in the Most Beautiful Village" is part of the broader calendar of Christmas initiatives in the Municipality of Mondolfo, which also involve the seaside fraction of Marotta. It's an opportunity to discover one of the most charming villages in the Marche region during the most magical time of the year, amidst history, flavors, and fun for all ages.
