Get ready for the 36th edition of the Palio del Fantasma in Castel Ritaldi, a historic reenactment that's the town's signature event! Different districts of Castel Ritaldi—La Bruna, Mercatello, Colle del Marchese, and Castel San Giovanni—will compete to claim victory and win the coveted prize.
Indulge in a feast of Umbrian flavors! Start with a variety of appetizers like the 'Antipasto del Borgia' featuring mixed bruschetta, zucchini frittata, cured meats, pecorino cheese, and prosciutto with melon. Don't miss the 'Coratella del Castellano,' a traditional mixed lamb offal dish, or the unique 'Lumache Cortigiane' (courtesan snails). For your main course, savor homemade pasta dishes such as 'Boccoli di Lucrezia' (fava beans and pancetta), 'Gnocchi del Balestriere' with goose ragu, or 'Strangozzi del Conte' with truffle. From the grill, enjoy 'Filetto del Duca' (veal fillet with Sagrantino wine sauce), 'Stinco della Locanda' (sweet and sour pork shank with beer and plums), or a mixed grill. Finish your meal with delightful desserts like 'Crescionda del Ducato' or 'Panna cotta del Ghiottone' in various flavors.
