This Palio is one of the oldest traditions in the Veneto. It recalls the celebrations that took place after the 1259 death of the tyrant Ezzelino da Romano. It consists of a horse race accompanied by folklore games, such as the “gonfalone” (banner) race. It is held in the first week of September and lasts for several days over which several events are organized. These include a medieval dinner, craft market and a fascinating evening show of the burning fortress.
