Palio del Cerro

The antecedent Saturday
the first Sunday of September

The Palio del Cerro is played every year by the four "contrade" of the village: Porta Caracosta, Porta Fiorentina, Porta a Palagio, Porta Santa Maria al Pozzuolo.
It is won by that "Contrada" which makes the best score in the five competitions. The "Contrada" which wins obtains a drape, which is painted by famous artists.

The competitions are preceded by a magnificent historical retinue, set in 1.500 and they are played in front of the monumental steps by Buontalenti which are the access to the Monumental Medici Villa.

Every year the retinue is composed of 400 people (who are local "Figuranti" and historical groups). We have been playing the Palio del Cerro for 26 yearsand it originates from an ancient Palio di S. Rocco.
The antecedent day the demonstration is effected a grandiose historical demonstration. The central Character is COSIMO DEI MEDICI and its Court. Appreciable the exhibition of the sbandieratori (flag-waving) and the musicians of the four ward.
