Fermo Cavalcata dell'Assunta 2026

Overview

In early August 2026, the traditional Cavalcata dell'Assunta festivities in Fermo began with the Tiro al Canapo competition, where the Contrada San Bartolomeo secured its 17th Cavalcata dell'Assunta trophy after defeating Pila and Campiglione. The event was highlighted by the participation of female shooter Alisa Cococcioni and the coaching of priest Gian Luca Iervicella, and received praise from Mayor Alberto Maria Scarfini.

Later the same day, officials announced the lineup of ten Dames who will represent each contrada in the 45th Cavalcata dell'Assunta procession. Among them is Sara Amadio, a 23‑year‑old medical student who will serve as the Dama of San Bartolomeo. The announcement emphasized the personal stories and historic ties of the Dames, underscoring the cultural significance of the procession for the city.

A subsequent report on Italian Palio festivals noted that Fermo’s Cavalcata featured the archery “Tiro per l'Astore” contest, continuing a series of medieval games among the town’s ten contrade, and placed the event alongside other regional Palio celebrations.
