A Palio in Memory of a Hard Won Victory
Since 1980 the Palio dei Terzieri commemorates the heroic reconquering of Trevi by its inhabitants after the city had been sacked by Spoleto. The Palio consists of a frantic race through the city streets with not more than twenty young men dragging carts that weigh a maximum of 430 kilograms. The aim is to seize the key of the bell tower and sound the bell of victory. The race itself is preceded by a historic parade featuring over 500 extras dressed in Medieval costume.

This area is at the centre of the Assisi-Spoleto hills, known for their production of olive oil.
