Edition 2025 — Palio del Fantasma

The 2025 edition of the Palio del Fantasma, the 35th, took place between late July and early August in Castel Ritaldi, with the five districts competing in tests of skill, strength, and luck, amidst costumed parades, taverns, and games that enlivened the historic center of the Umbrian village.

The 35th edition of the Palio del Fantasma took place between late July and early August 2025 in Castel Ritaldi, in the province of Perugia. The symbolic historical reenactment of the town saw the five districts — Castel Ritaldi, La Bruna, Mercatello, Colle del Marchese, and Castel San Giovanni — compete in tests of skill, strength, and luck that award the coveted palio.

For ten days, the village came alive with costumed parades, the district taverns serving traditional Umbrian dishes, games, and shows, in a festival that renews the Renaissance spirit inspired by the tournament in honor of Lucrezia Borgia.

Programme
