While the countdown for the first 2024 edition of the Giostra del Saracino has begun, the summit with the prefect Maddalena De Luca is scheduled this morning at 11 to decide where the delivery of the golden spear will take place on Saturday 22 June. At stake, after the terrace was no longer allowed for delivery to the winning district, are both the Infame Column, an arrangement found last year, and the return under the grandstand for which the Giostra Council presented a rendering by the architects Del Santo and Lazzeri to detach the stage from the body of the grandstand and thus avoid inconvenience to the guests in the grandstand.
Also today the four neighborhoods will reopen, including dinners under the stars, barbecues and themed evenings. The neighborhood planner’s week will liven up the four corners of the city with parties and tried-and-tested menus. Alongside the programming for the older ones, there will also be space for the pre-Carousel for children with entertainment and games.
