Edition 2025 — Palio del Drappo Verde

The 2025 edition of the Palio del Drappo Verde was held in the Valpantena of Verona, together with the 'Sgambada de San Giuseppe'. The competitive race and the non-competitive walk over multiple distances attracted athletes and families to the park of Villa Ca' Vendri, renewing a sporting tradition that has lasted for over eight centuries.

The 2025 edition of the Palio del Drappo Verde confirmed the formula that combines the competitive race with the popular 'Sgambada de San Giuseppe', in the setting of Valpantena. Start and finish in the park of Villa Ca' Vendri, in Santa Maria in Stelle, along the valley's paths.

Organized by Gruppo Sportivo Dilettantistico Mombocar with the patronage of the Municipality of Verona, the event renewed a tradition that dates back to 1208 and is remembered by Dante in the Divine Comedy.
