A Historical Curiosity

The Palio That Was Never Held

In 1974, the Terziere Castello recruited archers from Montalcino. At that time, no rule yet required archers to be born in Città della Pieve or to have lived there for at least five years: it was precisely as a result of this episode that the rule was introduced, to ensure that the competition remained authentically tied to the communities of the three city districts.

The Terziere Castello's choice, however, was seen as unfair and triggered a striking reaction. One of the founding members of the Terziere Casalino, indignant, tore down all the targets set up for the race. Back then those targets were called paglioni, because they were made of straw, and the archery contest was held against fixed targets — a different format from today's, which features the bull carousel with a moving bull-shaped target.

With no paglioni to shoot at, the contest could not go on, and the 1974 Palio was halted directly on the field.

The Statistics

Fifty Years of Challenges

From 1973 to 2025, fifty editions were held. Three editions were skipped: 1974 (suspended on the field), 2020 and 2021 (not held due to the COVID-19 emergency).

Castello

26

Six consecutive wins from 1988 to 1993, first terziere to inscribe its name in the Roll in 1973.

Casalino

16

Wins · 32%

Five consecutive triumphs between 1996 and 2000, the Casalino's Golden Age after decades of Castello dominance.

Borgo Dentro

8

Wins · 16%

First win in 1983, most recent in 2018. The Borgo Dentro entered the challenge in 1977: a path of patience and tenacity.
