Palio del Baradello
A plunge into the Middle Ages in the heart of Como
Born more than forty years ago to "tell" the history of the city of Como especially to those who had recently come to live there, the Palio del Baradello has evolved over the years into a great opportunity to relive this great History, together with citizens and visitors, with a series of events, tournaments and shows that recall the pompous festivities set up by the people of Como in March 1159 for the first visit of Emperor Frederick Barbarossa.
So again this year, as for more than four decades now, the city comes alive with ancient costumes, re-enactments, competitions and lots of fun.
