With symbolic stops at <strong>November IV Square<\/strong>, the <strong>Major Fountain<\/strong>, the <strong>Cathedral of San Lorenzo<\/strong>, and the scenic <strong>Via Majesty of the Vaults<\/strong>, the flashlight will be accompanied by marching bands, historical figures, schoolchildren and local sports associations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The conclusion of the day is scheduled in <strong>Italy Square<\/strong>, with the lighting of the Olympic tripod and an evening show of music, lights and testimonies of past Umbrian and Olympic athletes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>The protagonists of the stage<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Also in Perugia will be <strong>dozens of torchbearers<\/strong> - about 80-to carry the Olympic fire, each with a story to tell.

On Dec. 9, Perugia will light up, and with it will light up another stretch of the path to Milan Cortina.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"10 Things to See in PERUGIA - TOURIST GUIDE\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/dkblzn3QQgc?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n<div class=\"amc-dopo-il-contenuto\" id=\"amc-2799149402\"><script type=\"text\/plain\" data-tcf=\"waiting-for-consent\" data-id=\"1033\" data-bid=\"1\">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<\/script><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>9 dicembre 2025 \u2013 Perugia (Umbria) Dopo l\u2019emozionante giornata a Terni, la Fiaccola Olimpica prosegue il suo viaggio simbolico e approda a Perugia, per il quarto giorno di una staffetta destinata a unire l\u2019Italia attraverso lo sport, la cultura e l\u2019identit\u00e0 dei territori.
