Saint Leticia is venerated as a virgin martyr. Her cult was diffused in Corsica ("Letizia" was the name of Napoleon's mother). The Fiesta of Saint Leticia takes place around September 9th and lasts for four to six days. A sculpture of the Saint is carried in procession, its pedestal garlanded with grapes; figures of giants and cabezudos (figures with gigantic heads) parade in the streets and pyrotechnic figures of bulls race through the town every night.
