The Palio delle Botti di Manciano
The Palio is folklore and in August Manciano gets decorated with the colorful flags of the six Rioni (districts).
The Palio is an amateur competition that unites everyone in the tension of the race, in cheering for their athletes (called pushers), in the joy and suffering for the results obtained.
The Palio divides the town, but in the meantime, it creates a strong cohesion: everyone feels the joy and the happiness and likes dressing with the colors of their Rione (district) during the Sunday parade and the races.
The Palio is a beautiful popular festival.
In short, we really like the Palio !!!
