SUMMARY:Asti (Piedmont): Palio
DESCRIPTION:Since 1275\, this ancient horse race has turned Asti‘s Piazza Alfieri into a racetrack\, and has linked modern Asti with its medieval roots. Twenty-one Contrade (city divisions) compete in the central square\, while over 1\,200 individuals donning medieval garb parade proudly throughout the streets of the city. The traditional flag-wavers (Sbandieratori) also run their own Palio against residents of neighboring towns. To the winner (both horse and human alike) goes the spoils — a crimson velvet drape — which will remain in their city division’s possession for the year. Tickets start at 25€ and free for all children 5 years of age and under. \nDream of Italy is a membership website and award-winning travel publication publishing 170 issues since 2002.

SUMMARY:Florence: Rificolona (Lantern Festival)
DESCRIPTION:Though the origin of this colorful celebration is disputed\, many believe Rificolona began as a celebration on the eve of the Feast of the Madonna\, the nativity of the virgin. It is said that villagers would start their pilgrimage before the break of dawn to the city of Florence on the eve of her birthday. They relied on their lanterns\, or rificolone\, to light their. Others affirm the holiday’s roots are found deep within pagan tradition. In any case\, Rificolona continues to be celebrated in Florence and other parts of Tuscany. Every year\, people can visit the market in piazza Santissima Annunziata in the days leading up to the event. On the evening of the 7th\, children and adults parade through the city while singing songs and brandishing colorful rificolone on sticks. \nDream of Italy is a membership website and award-winning travel publication publishing 170 issues since 2002.
