Lo scopo era infatti quello di far correre il cerchio guidandolo con un’asta di metallo steering it with a forma di metal stick of “U”shape. Quest’ultima, detta “'''maniglia'''”, sfiorava la circonferenza in movimento correggendone la direzione e l’inclinazioneThe stick was used softly to touch the moving ring to define its inclination and direction.
I bambini si sfidavano facendo correre i loro cerchi tra le '''vie del centro storico''' di Lecce o in aperta campagna, scegliendo tratti privi di ostacoli come sassi e dislivelli.
