Edition 2025 — Palio di San Rocco

The 56th edition of the Palio di San Rocco took place from August 12 to 16, 2025, in San Miniato, combined with the 17th Festival del Pensiero Popolare themed 'Trame Comunitarie' (Community Weavings). The first evenings were held at the Cisterna della Misericordia, while from August 14 to 16, the festival moved to Piazza Buonaparte, featuring the challenge between the Poggighisi, Castelvecchio, and Forisporta districts and the new addition of the Palio divided between children and adults.

The 56th edition of the Palio di San Rocco, held from August 12 to 16, 2025, was paired with the 17th Festival del Pensiero Popolare, dedicated to the theme Trame Comunitarie: an invitation to reflect on how past and present stories intertwine in a strong and resilient community fabric. The evenings of August 12 and 13 were held at the Cisterna della Misericordia, while those of August 14-16 took place in Piazza Buonaparte.

Among the novelties was the return of traditional games like the silver spoon and the division of the August 16 Palio into separate challenges for children and adults. The book San Rocco, folklore, tradizione popolare e fede nel palio di mezz'agosto by Fabrizio Mandorlini was also presented, providing essential documentation on the origins of the event, alongside concerts, shows, installations, exhibitions, and workshops for all ages.
