Edition 2025 — Palio of the Cart

In August 2025, Monteleone d'Orvieto renewed its Historical Pageant and Palio of the Cart, with the throwing of the gauntlet in Piazza Bilancini and the medieval pageant on August 16th. Over four hundred costumed participants enlivened the village, while the Counts of Montemarte and the Counts of Marsciano competed for the Palio with the Cart Race at the Campo delli Giochi.

The 2025 edition of the Historical Pageant and Palio of the Cart confirmed the Ferragosto ritual of Monteleone d'Orvieto. In the days leading up to August 16th, the throwing of the gauntlet took place in Piazza Bilancini between the Noble House of the Counts of Montemarte and the Counts of Marsciano; the village then experienced its main day with the historical costume pageant and the Cart Race.

The parade, with over four hundred participants, brought to life the centuries-old rivalries and traditions of the medieval castle, in a festive atmosphere that draws residents and visitors each year to this corner of the Orvieto area, in the province of Terni.
