The Palio fought between the contrade (neighbourhoods) of Vigevano throngs this courtly city with armour, flag bearers, jugglers, acrobats, musicians and archers. It begins at 8:45 PM on Friday 12 October with a torchlight procession bearing representatives of the 12 contrade  from the Duomo o the Chiesa di San Pietro Martire.

On Saturday 13 October, from 4 PM, Piazza Ducale will ring to the sound of flagbearing shows, juggling, horses, jousting, dancing and music. At 9 PM, the nocturnal procession will set off towards the castle courtyard for “La notte sforzesca. The partying continues on Sunday with a historical parade and the Palio Games.

Try out your archery on an ancient bow, cheer on your favourite contrada and try ricotta gnocchi with cinnamon and cane sugar from the Renaissance Tavern.
