A grand launch event for the Palio

On Saturday 9 May at 6.00 pm in the Council Chamber of Avigliana Town Hall, one of the most solemn and evocative moments of the 43rd Palio Storico dei Borghi will take place: the Oath of the village leaders to the Conte Rosso at La Corte del Conte Rosso Aps-ets.

An event that marks the official start of the magic, blending tradition, history and the excitement that only the Palio can offer.

The 2026 Palio Banner will also be unveiled.

Afterwards, the evening will continue at the Giardino delle Donne with an enthralling performance by the flag-wavers and musicians of the Sbandieratori e Musici Città Di Avigliana, allowing you to immerse yourself completely in the medieval atmosphere.

And to round things off, there will also be a convivial moment to raise a toast together!
