Edition 2025 — Opening of the Hunts
The 62nd edition of the Opening of the Hunts Tournament was held in Montalcino from August 8th to 10th, 2025, confirming one of the most beloved traditions of the Val d'Orcia.
On Friday evening, in Piazza del Popolo, the artwork destined for the winning district was presented. On Saturday, the day opened with a performance by the folk group Il Trescone in Piazza del Popolo and the drawing of the archers, followed in the afternoon by the historical pageant towards the shooting field and the "provaccia". On Sunday, after the herald's announcement for the districts, the historical pageant started from Piazza Cavour, leading to the blessing of the archers in the church of Sant'Egidio and the ceremony of the delivery of the arrows at the Fortress, culminating in the decisive archery competition.
