    Palio di Ferrara - The Palio di Ferrara is a competition between the eight districts of Ferrara, made up of the four districts inside the medieval walls and the four villages outside. It constitutes the oldest palio in the world and is a historical re-enactment that originates from celebrations in 1259 with the return from Rome of Borso d'Este after receiving the duchy investiture from Pope Paul II.
