Casarile Palio - Feast of Mary the Child
The feast of Mary the Child with the challenge of the Casarile districts
About Casarile Palio
The Palio in South Milan
The Casarile Palio is the festival that the town of Casarile, a municipality in the Metropolitan City of Milan in the area south of the capital, dedicates to Mary the Child, on the second weekend of September. The village festival revolves around the challenge between the town's districts, brought back to life by the Palio Casarile Association after almost twenty years of absence.
The competing districts
The heart of the festival is the Palio itself, which pits the districts of Casarile against each other in a competition of games and challenges. The festival's program unfolds around this challenge, with moments of entertainment, conviviality, and tradition that involve the entire town.
A rediscovered tradition
The return of the Palio represents a recovery of Casarile's community identity: the feast of Mary the Child, common to many Lombard localities, finds its dimension here as a village festival with friendly rivalry between districts. For those passing through South Milan at the beginning of September, it is an opportunity to experience an authentic festival rooted in the territory.
Casarile Palio — edition 2026
For 2026, Casarile renews the feast of Mary the Child with the Palio between the districts on the second weekend of September. The Palio Casarile Association, which has revived the challenge, oversees the organization and publishes the detailed program - games, district challenges, and convivial moments - on its Facebook page in the weeks leading up to the festival.
