Experience a spectacular historical re-enactment at the 28th Palio di Vidor, recalling the ancient medieval assaults on Vidor Castle. Teams from local villages compete in a challenging relay race, carrying 15kg wooden ladders and a 55kg battering ram up steep inclines of up to 25%. The event is surrounded by guided tours of the Abbazia di Santa Bona, historical parades in period costumes, and food stalls offering delicious regional specialties like arrosticini marchigiani and spiedo. Enjoy live music and award ceremonies. Organized by Pro Loco la Vidorese, public participation is free.
Indulge in authentic local delicacies, including traditional slow-roasted spiedo (a local specialty often featuring pork or other meats cooked on a spit) and arrosticini marchigiani, delicious grilled lamb skewers from the Marche region, alongside other typical regional products.
