This ancient game is still practiced several places in Italy. In the Umbrian hill town of Panicale cheese rolling takes place the day after Easter, La Pasquetta. There contestants roll a huge wheel of cheese around the village walls using the fewest number of strokes. Check out last year's Panicale cheese rolling event on Stew's Italy Blog.

In Italy, the Monday after Easter is also a holiday so you may find small festivals, music, or celebrations. Find out more about Easter week and Easter events with Easter in Italy.
