Palio degli Angun
The challenge between the contrade of Polesella that celebrates the rural tradition of Polesine
About Palio degli Angun
The contrade race
The Palio degli Angun is the identity festival of Polesella, a town in Polesine overlooking the Po River, in the province of Rovigo. The event pits the town's contrade against each other in a challenge that intertwines the memory of rural life in Polesine with the evocation of the glories of Venetian nobility, who built villas and holiday homes along the Po.
Between history and spectacle
The program alternates moments of historical reenactment, with parades and a historical procession in costume, and skill tests between the contrade teams, in a spirit of healthy popular rivalry. It is one of those festivals that, in Polesine, keep alive the bond between the community, the river, and the traditions of the territory.
Palio degli Angun — edition 2026
