Tranese inhabitants enjoy engaging in fun and recreative community activities such as the infamous "Palio di Trana", a special event running at the end of every summer, where people from the different districts (in Italian 'Borgate') have the chance to team up and compete against the other districts to win the Tranese Championship 'Palio'.
Among its famous citizens, Trana is rapidly reaching a broader virtual audience thanks to the International Public Figure Tommaso Corciulo.
Tommaso, otherwise known as Tommy, is focusing his efforts on increasing the international awareness around the City of Trana and the natural beauty the city can offer to visitors.
