An entire millennium. That's how long the Fair of Saint Ursus has been around.
Conventionally, the exhibition is presumed to have begun in the year 1000 [even though St. Ursus, an Irish-born monk, lived in the sixth century].
It is held every year on January 30 and 31 in Aosta and features the arts & crafts of the entire Aosta Valley. All sorts of handmade objects are placed along the streets of the region's capital: items made of wood and soapstone, leatherware and wrought iron, "draps" (woolen fabrics, hand-woven on ancient wooden looms) and typical food products.
