The origins of this quirky event can be traced back to 1275, when Alba and Asti were at war, and the inhabitants of Asti decided to run a Palio outside the walls of Alba as a sign of victory. Each year, to celebrate their victory over the city of Alba, Asti held this Palio to show how magnanimous they were in victory. The inhabitants of Alba in turn decided to run a Palio inside the city walls, using donkeys instead of horses to mock their adversaries. A re-enactment of what is now known as the “Palio degli Asini” takes place on the first Sunday of October.
Locals dress in medieval costumes and the riders of the famed donkeys are local celebrities.
