Easter in Cividale del Friuli
Sunday, April 5th and Monday, April 6th, from 10:30 am to 12 pm and from 3:30 pm to sunset; discover Trùc, the traditional Easter game.
The traditional game of Trùc returns for Easter.
On Sunday, April 5th and Monday, April 6th, from 10:30 am to 12 pm and from 3:30 pm to sunset, try your hand at this traditional Cividale game in these locations:
- Piazzetta S. Stefano di Rualis
- Piazza P. Diacono
- Piazza Foro Giulio Cesare
- Piazza S. Pietro, former Grupignano nursery school
Rules of the game
- Use only hard-boiled, colored chicken eggs.
- The egg, when thrown, must touch the tile (cop).
- It must be released without being pushed.
- The objective is to hit one or more eggs inside the Trùc.
- Whoever hits the egg immediately returns to throw.
- To rejoin the game, the owner of the egg that was hit must redeem it and queue up to throw again.
- If the last player doesn't hit any eggs, the game resumes with the first player to throw an egg into the Trùc (old Trùc).
- Anyone who drops out of the game must leave a ransom, a coin, in place of the egg.
