Edition 2025 — Donkey Palio

In 2025, Roccatederighi celebrated its Historical Palio of the Contrade around August 14. The medieval village came alive with the historical costume pageant and the traditional donkey race between the five districts of Corso, Torre, Tramonto, Nobili, and Ventosa, confirming a tradition that has been renewed continuously since 1927.

2025 Edition

In the summer of 2025, the Donkey Palio confirmed its place among the most anticipated events in the Grosseto Maremma. As per secular tradition, on August 14, the five districts of Roccatederighi (Corso, Torre, Tramonto, Nobili, and Ventosa) faced each other in the donkey race, preceded by the 15th-century historical costume pageant with participants, drummers, and flag-wavers.

The event, organized by the Pro Loco Roccatederighi in collaboration with the Municipality of Roccastrada, attracted residents and visitors to the medieval village, renewing one of the most deep-rooted popular festivals in the area.
