Magione Week and Giogo Palio

The 2025 edition marked the 44th Magione Week, held from August 2 to 10 in the historic center of Magione. The event opened on Saturday, August 2nd, with the Launch of the Challenge in Piazza Carpine, enlivened by the Assisi Fire and Crossbowmen Group and the Fast Lap trial, which determined the starting order for the race between the four districts: Casenuove, Caserino, Comune, and Stazione.

On Sunday, August 3rd, children were the protagonists of the "Districts without Borders" games in Piazza Matteotti. The week offered music, folklore, theater, cinema, literary events, and the typical cuisine of the district taverns. The climax was on Saturday, August 9th, with the Night of the Stars: the Giogo Palio Pageant with costumes and sets inspired by the theme "Daily life in Magione between the 13th and 14th centuries, through the seasons of the year," followed by the Palio race preceded by a performance by the Musicians and Flag-wavers Group of the City of Cortona.
