Palio 10 Comuni di Montagnana
The drums are back to roll, the trumpets to blare and the flags to hover; mighty are the neighings of the horses ready to compete in the Palio dei 10 Comuni in Montagnana, to race in the rampart, framed by the red walls that recall a turbulent past.
A historical reenactment that also tastes a bit like a fairy tale that of the Palio dei 10 Comuni, in which the people of Montagnanese participate to vie for supremacy and the “Pallium,” scarlet cloth embellished by the work of a contemporary master painter. And you, are you ready to cheer on the contestants and immerse yourself in this atmosphere of yesteryear?
