Magione Week and Giogo Palio
A week of celebration among the districts of Magione, culminating in the Giogo Palio
About Magione Week
The festival of Magione's districts
The Magione Week and Giogo Palio is the event that transforms Magione, in the province of Perugia, into a grand festive village every August. For a week, the historic center and main squares host a playful competition between the four city districts, accompanied by music, folklore, theater, cinema, literary events, and good food served in the district taverns.
The four districts
The four districts of Magione compete for the Palio: Casenuove, Caserino, Comune, and Stazione. Each district sets up its own tavern with typical Magione traditional dishes and prepares costumes and sets for the historical pageant.
The Giogo Palio
The heart of the event is the Giogo Palio: a challenge that recalls the ancient work in the fields and culminates in a spectacular race through the streets of the center. The competition is preceded by the Giogo Palio Pageant, in which the districts parade in costume, interpreting a historical theme related to daily life in Magione between the 13th and 14th centuries.
The Night of the Stars
The highlight is the Night of the Stars, the concluding evening featuring the historical pageant and the Palio race. The event, organized by the Pro Loco Magione Tourist Association with the support of the Municipality and numerous local associations, is one of the most cherished summer events in the Trasimeno area.
