Edition 2025 — Palio delle Quercigliole

In 2025, the 220th edition of the Palio delle Quercigliole in Ripalimosani was held, concluding with the triumph of the San Rocco District. Two days of celebration around the Madonna della Neve, featuring the bareback equestrian race along the tratturo and traditional evening festivities.

The 2025 edition marked an important milestone: the 220th running of the Palio delle Quercigliole, confirming a tradition passed down in Ripalimosani for over two centuries. The race, reserved for the town's six districts, ended with the victory of the San Rocco District. As per tradition, the winning horse entered the Chapel of the Madonna della Neve, kneeling before the little Madonna.

The festival, spread over August 11th and 12th, combined religious celebrations, the equestrian race, and evening civil festivities with performances and fireworks, drawing families and returning emigrants for the summer to the town.
