A dive into the Middle Ages transforms the historic center and the northwest Gardens of Castelfranco Veneto into an open-air stage. The Palio del Castel d’Amore celebrates thirty years of history with a rich program of reenactments, fire shows, parades, and period markets.
The first weekend ignites the challenge with the Ancient Game of Ball and the Palio dei Cei dedicated to the little ones, featuring performances by flag wavers, drummers, and captivating light shows. The celebration continues the following weekend with the celebratory feast, the enchanting atmospheres of the grand night show "Magae et Magiae," and the evocative historical ceremonies.
The most anticipated moment culminates on Sunday the 13th with the solemn Historical Parade of the Consuls, followed by the contest of the Palio del Castel d’Amore, where the neighborhoods will compete for the prestigious cloth created by the artist Chiara Merlo. Along the city streets, musicians, jesters, and dancers will accompany visitors in an extraordinary immersion into tradition, with refreshment areas featuring typical dishes and the magic of a timeless era.
