Edition 2025 — Palio dei Ochi
The 2025 edition of the Palio dei Ochi brought the Middle Ages back to the castle of Arquà Polesine, with the four districts Redinari, Lanaroi, Zestari, and Scoari competing for the Palio. A medieval village, market, historic taverns, entertainment, and the Corsa dei Ochi animated the town for four days.
In 2025, the Palio dei Ochi once again transformed the centre of Arquà Polesine into an authentic medieval village. Around the castle, soldiers, flag-wavers, musicians, and jugglers accompanied the competitions between the four districts of Arquà, culminating in the traditional Corsa dei Ochi. Historic taverns and fire shows completed a reenactment that remains one of the most cherished in the Polesine region.
