On Saturday 25 August at the equestrian centre "Val Roya" in Varase di Ventimiglia, the first Palio (horse race) of the Principality of Seborga will take place.
Although the event will be of amateur quality with the participation of non professional riders and horses, it will be of an educational nature to promote the history and traditions of the equestrian world.
The race will be preceded by a ceremony similar to the famous Palio of Siena with traditional costumes, flags and banners.
The Contrade or city wards will receive the welcome by HRH Prince Giorgio I.
