The procession of the Dames (Corteo delle Dame) parads in Orvieto every year on Saturdays preceding the Solemnity of the Corpus Domini. These ladies of other times represent spouses and daughters of those gentlemen who owned the lands that were under the powerful medieval Comune, and had arrived in town to take part in the celebrations.
