Über die Veranstaltung

This event saw the champions of that time compete in various  competitions: horse races, runs, crossbow archery and harquebus  shooting. The traditional Palio di San Donato has been revived every  year since 2000 with three fun-packed days of celebration. Nowadays,  only champions from the five historic villages (Borgo Duomo, Borgo San  Pietro, Borgo San Domenico, Borgo Brossana and Borgo di Ponte) can  participate in the running, archery and harquebus competitions. However,  the whole audience is involved in this tournament as they become part  of this magical and evocative atmosphere that is created by virtue of  this scrupulous historical reconstruction of the 14th century.  Furthermore, the stages are animated with performances by drummers,  jugglers, fire breathers, minstrels, jesters, musicians and numerous  people in period costumes.
