Corsa all'anello

The Corsa all'Anello is one of Umbria's most enchanting medieval events, a spectacle that transforms Narni into a living stage where history unfolds before your eyes. From April 23 to May 10, 2026, the city comes alive with colors, sounds, and traditions that transport visitors back in time, offering a complete immersion into the medieval atmosphere. The three ancient city districts (terzieri) compete in an extraordinary equestrian tournament: knights in full armor gallop on horseback, attempting to pierce increasingly smaller rings with their lances—a feat demanding courage, skill, and millimeter-perfect precision.

Beyond the spectacular horse race, Narni offers a complete cultural experience through a rich program involving the entire community. Historical processions, authentic medieval costumes, drummers, and flag-bearers parade through the historic center, creating an authentic and immersive medieval atmosphere. Local taverns and restaurants serve traditional Umbrian dishes, allowing you to savor genuine flavors while immersing yourself in history.

For those seeking an experience different from traditional food festivals, the Corsa all'Anello represents a unique opportunity to experience Italian cultural heritage through historical reenactment, traditional sport, and community spirit. It's the perfect occasion to discover Narni and Umbria from a fascinating perspective, where every moment of the event tells a centuries-old story.
