Located halfway between Rome and Florence at the crossroads between Tuscany, Umbria and Lazio and just 6 km from the A1 exit “Chiusi-Chianciano Terme”, horses have forever been at home in Sarteano. The Giostra del Saracino, a unique equestrian based historical re-enactment, has been taking place for centuries in the main square of the village, involving both guests and residents alike in the month of August. Unique is the territory that offers unforgettable walks between the medieval village to the hamlet of Castiglioncello Trinoro, a natural balcony overlooking the Val d’Orcia and to the village of Fontevetriana, gateway to Mount Cetona which offers incredible views of the lush Val di Chiana.
The event is organized by the local tourism office and the City of Sarteano in collaboration with: Giostra del Saracino, Nonsolomamme, Committee of Parents and Skaters “La Fenice” and with the sponsorship of the Tuscan Region, the Province of Siena, the Union of Municipalities of Siena’s Val di Chiana, CONI, the Fitetrec-Ante and the fundamental contribution of the Bank Val di Chiana.
With Horse Fever, Sarteano pays tribute to the horse and the passion for outdoors but, above all, to an inseparable life companion.
