An unmissable opportunity to enjoy and be carried away by the intoxicating flavors of the typical Picentina cuisine. A real sensory experience that will delight your palates, and will take you on a journey through time to discover the ancient flavors of tradition. Arrival in the heart of the village San Cipriano Picentino to attend the Historical Parade that traces the various phases of the history of these places, strictly in period costumes. The main figure of the procession is Donna Isabella Gonzaga D'Avalos, who every year is played by a prominent Italian actress who becomes the true godmother of the event.
Lunch in the local restaurant to enjoy the excellent local products in addition to chestnuts and good wine. 
In the afternoon we will attend the Joust of the Contrade characteristic "Palio of the donkeys", in which the whole country participates, divided into nine districts, each of which competes with its own donkey.  The catwalk of the donkeys participating in the Palio is announced by the folk band of "Castagnari of Tupperetunne" and a large group of majorettes.
