Laino Borgo (Calabrian: Laìnu) is a town and comune of 1,879 inhabitants in the province of Cosenza in the Calabria region of southern Italy.

However, recent excavations at San Primo, a district of Laino Borgo, have uncovered the remains of an extensive settlement covering at least 40 hectares and dating back to around 500 B.C., which may have been the original location of the city of Laüs.

It is thought that the inhabitants may have moved to the second location of Laus near Santa Maria del Cedro after the original city near Laino Borgo was destroyed in an earthquake.

The performance, normally involving over 100 of the local inhabitants dressed in period costume at numerous locations set up throughout the town, lasts throughout the entire day, culminating in a re-enactment of the crucifixion, and is called in Italian "La Giudaica".

The event has its origins in the 1700s and participants following behind the statue of the Virgin Mary carry elaborate displays of flowers and candles on their heads and are accompanied by traditional music.
