Bravìo delle Botti

The 2025 edition of the Bravìo delle Botti, the 51st, took place in Montepulciano at the end of August, with the barrel race held on Sunday, August 31, 2025. Victory went to the Cagnano District, thanks to pushers Luca Benassi and Samuele Cesaroni: a historic success for the green-and-blue district, which had not won the Panno since 1991. The banner, painted by artist Manuela Petti, was carried in a procession to the district headquarters. After the draw, the historical pageant reached the church of the Santissimo Nome di Gesù for the offering of candles to San Giovanni Decollato, the patron saint to whom the event is dedicated.
