Edition 2025 — Palio di Mozzate

The 23rd edition of the Palio di Mozzate opened on Friday, September 5, 2025, with the historical parade, the procession to the church of Sant'Alessandro, and the lighting of the brazier. A more contained edition, with three districts competing — La Torre, Mornera, and Bozzente — and the Cencio created by Mozzate artist Maria Cristina Galvan.

The 2025 edition, the 23rd, confirmed Mozzate's strong bond with its Palio. The opening evening on September 5 saw the historical costume parade reach the church of Sant'Alessandro, with mass, the lighting of the brazier on the churchyard, and the oath of the captains, followed by the concert at the oratory. For that year, three districts competed — La Torre, Mornera, and Bozzente — in a more limited edition in terms of games; Solaro had withdrawn from the competition. The Cencio, a work by Mozzate artist Maria Cristina Galvan, was a fabric puzzle dedicated to the equality and diversity of peoples.
