ATTENTION: EVENT CANCELLED<\/h2>\n

XXVI edition <\/b>of the medieval event which includes the traditional “cart race” pulled by hand by four competing teams, representing the four medieval districts called Monastero, Brolo, Capodiponte and Grate. <\/p>\n

Each cart carries a figure\/silhouette of Saint Anthony; The team that first fixes the outline of the Saint on the bell tower wins the prize. <\/p>\n

Hence the historical and allegorical meaning of the re-enactment: the figure of Saint Anthony who arrives dying at the Arcella on a cart and becomes the symbol of the city. <\/p>\n

Initiative organized by the Palio Arcella cultural association with the contribution of the Municipality of Padua. <\/p>\n

Plan<\/b>: <\/p>\n

Saturday 7 September<\/b>, 6.00 pm<\/b>, Sanctuary of the Arcella<\/b> – Holy mass animated by the Palio participants. <\/p>\n

Sunday 8 September <\/b>while the village artisans bring ancient crafts to life, musicians, jesters and dancers offer imaginative shows. <\/p>\n
