  • The Palio di Legnano (Italian pronunciation: [ˈpaːljo di leɲˈɲano]; known locally simply as Il Palio) is a traditional event generally held on the last Sunday of May in the City Of Legnano, Italy, to recall the Battle of Legnano held on 29 May 1176 by the Lombard League and the Holy Roman Empire of Frederick Barbarossa. This Palio is composed by a medieval pageant and a horse race. Until 2005 the whole event was named Sagra del Carroccio. Legnano is subdivided into eight contrade, each of which takes part both in the medieval pageant and in the horse race held at the stadio Giovanni Mari. This is considered one of the most important non-competitive events of this type in Italy. In 2003 the historic pageant was shown at the Columbus Day in New York City. A lot of Palio-centric events take place in Legnano during May and July, such as the choral exhibition La Fabbrica del Canto '(The factory of singing)' born in 1992 from an idea of the musical association Jubilate. In 2015, institutions made 29 May a holiday for the whole of Lombardy. (en)
  • Le Palio de Legnano est une manifestation folklorique annuelle qui se déroule le dernier dimanche de mai à Legnano, en Lombardie afin de commémorer la Bataille de Legnano du 29 mai 1176 qui vit les armées de la Ligue Lombarde battre celles de l'empereur d'Allemagne, Frédéric Barberousse. (fr)
  • Il palio di Legnano è una festa tradizionale che si svolge annualmente a Legnano dal 1935 per commemorare l'omonima battaglia combattuta il 29 maggio 1176 nei dintorni della città tra le truppe della Lega Lombarda e l'esercito imperiale di Federico Barbarossa. Il territorio di Legnano, comune italiano della città metropolitana di Milano, in Lombardia, è diviso in otto contrade storiche che si sfidano, all'ultima domenica di maggio, in una corsa ippica che chiude la manifestazione. Fino al 2005 il palio di Legnano era chiamato "Sagra del Carroccio", denominazione che prese già dalla sua seconda edizione, nel 1936. Dal 1954 è ufficialmente annoverato tra le manifestazioni storiche italiane. Tra gli eventi collegati al palio di Legnano trovano anche spazio una sfilata storica e "La Fabbrica del Canto", manifestazione musicale corale internazionale nata nel 1992 su iniziativa dell'Associazione Musicale Jubilate. Nel 2002 la sfilata storica del palio di Legnano è stata riproposta al Columbus Day di New York. (it)

  • [...] We care little about the memories of patriotic events; Legnano lacks a monument to ascertain the value of our ancestors and the memory of our connected fathers, who managed to beat foreigners as soon as they understood each other. [...] (en)
  • In the context of new feelings and aspirations we returned to the search for ancient traditions, which re-created a historical identity, reigniting a dignity and a pride, which had fallen asleep during the disastrous war events. In truth, the memory of the Sagra del Carroccio, although set aside, had never been extinguished. [...] The initiative was somewhat reckless and difficult [...] several Legnanesi were reluctant to accept the resumption of the event, given its pre-war origin of the fascist period, having the fear that the restoration of the Sagra del Carroccio could cause political conflicts. But in the end the supporters of the recovery prevailed. (en)
  • [...] You gentlemen have been summoned by me to listen to the reading of the announcement, by which We, the supreme magistrate of the palio, declare open the historic competition between the contrade of Legnano. The gentlemen will now receive a copy of the announcement, they will post it in their manors, they will spread it between the priory and the people of their contrade. [...] (en)
  • [...] The Palio di Legnano is the historical re-enactment of the battle of Legnano which is celebrated every year in order to enhance the ideals of freedom and autonomy of the municipalities. The Palio di Legnano is the culminating moment of the cultural activity and social aggregation of the city contrade. [...] (en)
  • [...] You gentlemen were summoned by me last April to hear and receive the announcement, through which we, the supreme magistrate of the palio, declared the competitions open between the contrade of the city for the conquest of the cross of Aribert. We are here with our approval to wait for their Lords to register their contrade, to present the captains, the chatelaines and the esquires. We will accept the registrations and give the "money" in order that everything is done as per consecrated tradition . [...] (en)
  • [...] For obvious reasons the Duce has established that the palio denomination is reserved for the traditional Sienese event and that the Legnano one is instead called "Sagra del Carroccio". [...] (en)
  • [...] The memory of this great historic event is an opportunity to renew not only the memory of the struggles for the independence of the free medieval municipalities, but also to reaffirm the civil and democratic commitment of our republican institutions. [...] (en)
  • By the will of my contrada I assume the office of captain for the year of the Lord [current year] and in the name of our patron saints I promise loyalty to the colors of the contrada and loyalty to the magistrates of the palio. (en)
  • [...] to the men of New Italy the value and the heroism of the ancient warriors. [...] (en)
