Palio di Asti festival preparations and festivities

Overview

Preparations for the Palio di Asti began in Piazza Alfieri with phased construction and traffic closures. To manage the historical Carroccio, the Asti municipality partnered with the Associazione ricreativa culturale cooperativa 2.0 to provide logistics, specialized workers, a veterinarian, and the transport of six oxen.

As the event approached, festivities expanded into the Piedmont region. Nizza Monferrato scheduled activities including a parade themed ‘Medieval Medicine, Balance of the Four Humors’ and a blessing for the horse and jockey. Simultaneously, San Damiano d’Asti launched ‘Settembre Sandamianese,’ featuring the San Damiano Summer Festival with musical performances and traditional events leading up to the main race on September 6.
