Il Palio delle Barche at Passignano sul Trasimeno From 21/07/2008 to 27/07/2008
Contestants at the Palio challenging their competitors from the other quarters
In 1495 a small army of Siennese and Perugian exiles occupied the castle of Passignano, but Perugia’s reaction was so violent that the invaders hoisted boats on their shoulders and crossing the lake, tried to save themselves by sailing in the direction of the islands, but in vain. From that event of long ago comes the present-day Palio delle Barche (Boat race). It is highly spectacular, and unique of its type, a race that is divided into three stages: the first and the third in water, the second on the land, the contestants with the boats on their shoulders crossing the narrow streets of the historic centre. The race, which takes place on the last Sunday of July, involves no less than 160 contestants divided into four neighbourhoods: Historic Centre, Centre 2, Oliveto and S.Donato. They take as symbol four lake fish: Queen Carp, Pike, Eel and Perch. During the Palio there is also the "Corsa delle Brocche" that is restricted to women.
The programme includes:
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday: neighbourhoods individual trials
Friday: "Corsa delle Brocche"
Saturday: launching of the challenge
Sunday: Historic Parade and Palio delle Barche
Taverns are open every evening.
