Also this year as per tradition i Macerata hunters, coordinated by the municipal representative Leonard Romiti, took part in the procession of San Giuliano protector of hunters. The holy mass was celebrated by the bishop of Macerata, HE Nazzareno Marconi, who during the mass in the churchyard of the Cathedral entrusted the city of Macerata to the help and blessing of the Patron Saint.
All the civil - religious - military - political authorities were present at the celebration, falling within the province of Macerata and the mayors of the cities twinned with Macerata: Weiden (Germany), Issy Les Molineaux (France), Floriana (Malta), Kamez (Albania). The cult of San Giuliano dates back to the origins of Macerata, which this year celebrates 881 years.
In this city in his honor, the Society of Hunters was established to which the most important citizens belonged and whose head called Lord of the Hunt, he had to direct the feast of the saint keeping for that day the government of the town. The Hunters Society had an equestrian statue sculpted in the XNUMXth century, which is now preserved inside the Duomo, where he holds the falcon in his left hand while at the foot of the horse there are the deer of the legend and two dogs.
