Edition 2025 — Carrese of San Martino

In 2025 too, the Carrese of San Martino in Pensilis was run on April 30th, the day dedicated to San Leo. The two factions, the White-Blue Giovani and the Yellow-Red Giovanotti, competed along the traditional route of over nine kilometers, from the change of horses in the Tratturo area to the church arch, in front of a large crowd that filled the hamlets and the town.

The 2025 edition of the Carrese renewed the ritual that has animated San Martino in Pensilis, in lower Molise, for generations. As tradition dictates, the race of ox-drawn carts took place on April 30th, as part of the festivities for the patron saint San Leo, with the competition between the White-Blue Giovani and the Yellow-Red Giovanotti along the route of over 9 km. The day confirmed the community's great ability to mobilize, divided by colors and gathered along the hamlets to follow every phase of the race until the finish in the town center.
