Pienza Race of Pius II
Known locally as La Corsa di Pio
The last edition has finished and the organiser has not yet published dates for the next one. Going by previous years, expect it around mid September 2027 — but that is our projection, not an announcement, and nothing is settled until the organiser publishes the dates. Check with the organiser before you travel: gazzettadisiena.it.
About
A Renaissance historical pageant in Pienza (Siena province, Tuscany) commemorating Pope Pius II's 1462 transformation of his home village of Corsignano into the ideal Renaissance city of Pienza. The free three-day event fills the historic centre with period games, performances, craft demonstrations and Renaissance-era food, organised by the Comune di Pienza.
