Edition 2025 — Corsa di Pio

The 2025 edition of the Corsa di Pio took place in Pienza from September 19 to 21, once again bringing the Renaissance re-enactment dedicated to Pope Pius II to the historic center. Featuring performances by flag-wavers and drummers, a Renaissance dinner in Piazza Pio II, and the traditional footrace, the event brought the World Heritage village to life with activities for all ages.

Corsa di Pio 2025

The Corsa di Pio 2025 was held in Pienza from September 19 to 21. The days alternated between Renaissance entertainment and sporting moments: performances by musicians, flag-wavers, and drummers in the afternoon, a Renaissance dinner with street performers in Piazza Pio II, and the Sunday footrace.

The race included children's and teenager's categories on short courses (approx. 1,800 m) and an adult category on a track of about 5 km, with awards presented in the square at the end. The event, organized by the Pro Loco Pienza and the Associazione Spazio Giovani, reaffirmed the community's bond with the Renaissance founding of the city commissioned by Pope Pius II in 1462.
