Edition 2025 — Palio della Brocca

In 2025, the Palio della Brocca animated Deruta with the challenge of the three districts Piazza, Valle, and Borgo. Amidst the historical procession, period games, taverns, and shows, the reenactment brought the ceramic town back to the mid-19th century, in a community celebration that intertwines history, folklore, and territorial identity.

The 2025 edition

In 2025, the Palio della Brocca renewed its appointment between late August and early September, with the three districts of Deruta — Piazza, Valle, and Borgo — engaged in historical challenges. The historical procession with over 300 participants, flag-wavers, and musicians brought 19th-century Deruta back to life, while taverns and shows enlivened the evenings.

The event, organized by the "Il Palio della Brocca" association with the municipal administration, confirmed its role as an identity event, celebrating ceramics as a symbol of the territory. The exact dates and the results of the individual 2025 races are not fully available from public sources.

  • Historical procession with over 300 participants
  • Challenges between districts: pitcher race, table race, tug-of-war, basket race, youth races
