About Giostra della Quintana

 

La Giostra della Quintana is a noble competition in outfit wherein the 10 locale of Foligno challenge one another. It happens two times per year: in June, the Challenge, in September, the Revenge. This year, the test is held Saturday, June 15, , at 9.00 pm. The Giostra comprises of riding a couple of laps of the old arena of Foligno Campo de li Giochi in the most brief possible time, pushing multiple times with a lance a ring swinging from a statue of the god Mars the supposed "quintanone" without getting punishment.

 

The distance across of the ring continuously diminishes in the three rounds of the challenge 8 cm, 6 cm, and 5 cm. The rider who closures the course without punishment and in the briefest time wins. The night prior to the Giostra Friday 14th June, the Procession twists through the lanes of the downtown area, with 800 characters in extravagant Baroque dresses. In the two weeks going before the Giostra, the city wakes up with the opening of the 10 nearby bars, where you can taste the normal dishes of the 17th century gastronomy with the results of the Foligno region.
