Scarecrow Competition

First Edition

The first edition of the Scarecrow Competition marked the launch of this initiative in San Giovanni in Galilea, a hamlet of the Municipality of Borghi, in the province of Forlì-Cesena. Organized by the Renzi Museum and the Friends of Dante Association, with the patronage of the Municipality, the event was born from an idea by Sabrina Foschini.

From its debut, the competition involved local schools in a creative contest dedicated to scarecrows, intended as a tool to promote the anthropological roots of peasant culture. The success of this first edition laid the groundwork for the event's continuation in subsequent years, confirming it as a cultural highlight of the village.
