Dominica in Albis is traditionally celebrated on the first Sunday after Easter. The fair in Vergato is firmly rooted in history: it is a religious event and commemorates the fact that baptisms, in the early days of the Church, were administered on Easter night and those baptised wore a white tunic. The garment was worn throughout the following week, until the first Sunday after Easter which was named “Sunday when the white robes are deposited”, “in albis depositis”. Still today, the whole town comes alive and the streets are filled with all kinds of attractions, from street vendors selling food to exhibitions of agricultural tools. Local producers promote their products and during the Fair there is also a Provincial Rabbit Show, the only one held in the area, where several breeds of rabbit from selected breeders are shown. There is also a fun fair for children and teenagers.
