2026 marks the hundredth anniversary of the Ferrovia Spoleto-Norcia, inaugurated on 1 November 1926 and known as the Piccolo Gottardo Umbro: 51 kilometres of track that crossed the Umbrian Apennines. Norcia dedicates a day to the anniversary that brings together history, nature and the local area. The meeting point is at 8.30 in Serravalle, from where a walk of about 4 km starts along the restored section of the Serravalle tunnel, accompanied by donkeys, with a demonstration rafting descent along the Sordo and Corno rivers. At 11.00 at the Digipass in Norcia the institutional greetings begin, followed by the screening of the newsreel Il treno, a report on the project for a Railway Documentation Centre and the presentation of the book La Ferrovia Spoleto-Norcia. The day ends at 13.30 with a tasting of typical local products. The event is organised by the Comune di Norcia with the contribution of BCC di Spello e del Velino and the patronage of numerous local bodies.
