Palio di Cori

The Palio di Cori stands as one of Lazio's most captivating medieval reenactment events, an extraordinary opportunity to immerse yourself in the history and traditions of this magnificent town in the Castelli Romani region. From June 20 to July 25, 2026, Cori transforms into a stage where the past comes alive through the Historic Carousel of the Districts MMXXVI, engaging the entire community in an unforgettable experience that blends history, culture, and traditional equestrian competitions. The event unfolds across three major moments: the solemn Oath of the Priors on June 20 in Piazza Sant'Oliva, the Palio della Madonna del Soccorso on June 28 that enlivens Piazza Signina, and the grand Palio di Sant'Oliva on July 25 at Campo di Gara Stoza. Each appointment celebrates Cori's historical identity, where the city's four districts compete within an authentically reconstructed medieval setting. Beyond the equestrian competitions that ignite the city, the program features evocative Gate Dinners and Gate Festivals—convivial moments where local gastronomy merges with historical celebrations. An event that embodies the beating heart of Cori's tradition, where every detail tells stories of noble rivalries and close-knit community.
