Palio dei Somari 2025: new committee presents nine days of festivities

President Bolici announces the Sagra San Giuseppe programme from 15 to 23 March.

A change in the association’s leadership accompanies the 68th Palio dei Somari in Torrita di Siena. In the statement dated 14 February, the new president of the Associazione Sagra San Giuseppe, Massimo Bolici, presents a programme running from 15 to 23 March 2025. The concluding race is announced for Sunday 23 March, following processions, celebrations and contrada events. The old town’s taverns open on the first weekend, alongside itinerant performances; the calendar also involves flag throwers, drummers, children’s activities and initiatives by local businesses. The organisers’ statement reports municipal and regional patronage and inclusion in the Valdichiana25 programme as Tuscan Capital of Culture. The new governing committee therefore maintains the festival’s community structure, built on contrade, volunteering and hospitality. The source documents the announced programme, but contains neither financial accounts nor final attendance figures.
