The Nautical Palio reaches its 40th edition: event programme

The 2019 edition of the Nautical Palio of Santa Fermina, promoted and organised by the ASD Mare Nostrum reaches its 40th edition!

A real milestone for one of the oldest traditional events of Civitavecchia, involving institutions, charities, sport societies and more for an event that unites the port and the city thanks to sport and culture.

Let's see the details of theis 40th edition, that will be presented at a press conference  on the 8th April at the Conference Room of the Foundation Cassa di Risparmio.

The programme includes as usual the traditional rowing competition facing the New Historical Neighbourhoods in the Junior and Senior categories in the 40th Nautical Palio of Santa Fermina. Other events are exhibitions, photography exhibitions and artistic shows, and the closing event will be as usual the Solemn Procession in honor to the Patroness of the City.

One of the news this year, which we feel very proud of, is the inclusion of Postcards from Civitavecchia inside the anthological exhibiton held at the Rock of Civitavecchia from Saturday 13th April.

To sum up, after the beautiful experience of the 1st  Official exhibition at the Traiano Theater, and the exhibiton at the Casa della Memoria, here's another unmissable chance to see the 48 pictures of the first 4 calendars of Postcards from Civitavecchia!
