A very old and traditional event, it is one of the most beloved in the town. It has now come to its 575th edition but its ancient rite celebration at the sea and its fishing-of-the-ring challange, where young Cervia residents try to get the "trophy" bringing good luck and prosperity have lost none of their atmosphere.
