UMBRIA EVENTS AND FESTIVALS
August
Palio di Siena
The palio is disputed each year on 2 July and 16 August in the Piazza del Campo. It is one of the most famous folkloristic demonstrations of medieval origin that sparks up rivalry between the 17 districts of the town. The demonstration includes costume shows, ensign’s exhibitions but above all a horse race, dramatic, intense and very short.
Preggio / ‘Festival of Chamber and Sacred Music’
A series of concerts held in the church at Preggio, a beautiful hilltop village.
Corciano / ‘Corciano Festival’
A series of concerts, theatre shows, pageants and conferences with exhibitions of the work of Umbrian artists.
Citta Di Castello / ‘Chamber Music Festival of the Nations’
One of the most important musical events in Italy. The festival features a guest nation each year, which presents internationally prestigious musical groups. While keeping music as its core, the Festival is moving in other artistic directions as well with a variety of events including dance, theatre and the visual arts.
