The Palio dei Trampoli is a lively historical re-enactment that takes place annually in Schieti, a hamlet of the municipality of Urbino.
The event draws inspiration from the ancient traditions of local charcoal burners and farmers who, to cross the Foglia river, used stilts.
During periods of inactivity, these stilts became tools of play and competition between the children and adults of the village, thus giving life to a popular festival called “Palio dei sampp” (Palio of the Trampoli).
The winner was traditionally awarded with a cheese and a flask of wine, and the party continued with popular dances such as furlana, saltarello and palombina until late at night
The Palio sees the participation of various districts of the village who, dressed in traditional costumes, challenge each other in a Race on Trampoli to win the title of best stilt walker and the trophy for the winning district
The event is accompanied by parades, music, shows and other activities that involve the local community and visitors, creating a festive and engaging atmosphere
