Palio in Rosa: a female-led rowing tradition

On August 13th, San Felice del Benaco hosts one of the most evocative events in the local calendar. The Palio in Rosa is more than just a rowing contest; it is a celebration of heritage, where the mastery of the ‘voga alla veneta’ technique meets the dedication of all-female crews.

The evening commences at 8:00 PM with a parade of the rowers through the historic center, accompanied by the Banda Gardesana. This solemn procession leads to the Town Hall Square for the traditional blessing of the crews, highlighting the deep connection between the people and the lake. At 9:30 PM, the waters in front of the Town Hall serve as the stage for the race, where technique and strength are put to the test. Following the awards ceremony, the night concludes in the square with a DJ set, offering a vibrant way to enjoy the classic atmosphere of a summer night on the lake.
