Edition 2025 — Palio of Taranto

The 2025 edition celebrated 40 years of the Palio of Taranto in its modern form. The inaugural district regatta took place on May 8th, during the Saint Cataldo festivities, with the traditional blessing of the oars at the Aragonese Castle. The tournament concluded in July with the final regatta at the foot of the Swivel Bridge, which crowned the winning district by adding up the scores from the trials.

In 2025, the Palio of Taranto reached the milestone of its 40th edition, confirming its status as one of the defining events of the Ionian capital. The first regatta took place on May 8th, in the heart of the celebrations for Saint Cataldo, with the ten districts engaged in the circumnavigation of the Old Town between the Mar Grande and the Mar Piccolo. The season closed in July with the final race on the Navigable Canal, at the foot of the Swivel Bridge, in front of a large crowd. The event, free and held outdoors, renewed the bond between the people of Taranto, the sea, and their history once again in 2025.
