The annual festival is inaugurated in Carro, an ancient borgo where you can find the house of the ancestors of Niccolò Paganini.
Already under the rule of the Estensi in the XI century before passign to the Malaspina then to the Da Passano, Carro became a free comune in 1229 forming with Castello an autonomous town hall with its own statutes.
