Initiatives and Appointments:
The Maggio Eugubino Association has played important roles in many sectors to Gubbio's advantage.
Apart from finding a meeting point between eugubinians living in our city and those spread out in the rest of the world, the Maggio Eugubino has promoted and realized many cultural, touristical and folkloristical initiatives and has constructively stimulated the Public Societies to always work in favour of Gubbio and its people.

Some of the initiatives of Maggio Eugubino which we remember are:

• The publication of "L'Eugubino", news letter of citizen life;
