Giostra della Quintana 80th anniversary celebrations

Overview

The Giostra della Quintana in Foligno is marking its 80th anniversary with a series of cultural events. The celebration includes the ‘Rivincita 2026’ program, which features a Palio designed by artist Mimmo Paladino.

As part of this milestone, the event has been included in a new regional law in Umbria, designating it as a “constitutive asset of the intangible cultural heritage of the Umbria region.” Regional President Stefania Proietti described the event as a “common heritage of Umbria.”

The festivities include a grand Baroque procession, the Corteo Storico, which features ten district representations including knights, musicians, and allegorical figures. The event continues a tradition established in 2014 of commissioning contemporary artists to create winner's banners, blending historical reenactment with modern art.
