Gualdo Tadino hosts 48th edition of Gioco de le Porte
The 48th edition of the ‘Gioco de le Porte’ historical reenactment took place in Gualdo Tadino from September 25 to 27. The event, a significant medieval tradition in central Italy, features a competition between the city's four historic districts—San Donato, San Facondino, San Martino, and San Benedetto—to win the Palio di San Michele Arcangelo.
This year's festivities included a large historical procession with over 1,200 participants dressed in 15th-century attire, as well as archery and slingshot competitions. The event gained international dimension with delegations attending from various countries, including France, Germany, Spain, Poland, Turkey, Tunisia, and the United States. The city of Campobasso participated as the guest of honor.
