Leonessa. Palio of Velvet

Leonessa. Palio of Velvet

On the 4th weekend of June, the Palio of Velvet (Palio del Velluto) takes place in Leonessa.

The Renaissance returns to Leonessa, with a splendid historical re-enactment in period costume that recalls a party born as early as 1464.

A day immersed in the beauty of this village and its traditions, from the sumptuous parade made up of more than one hundred figures, to the equestrian shows that take place throughout the event.
