About Palio del Torrione

Palio del Torrione is a reenactment taking places in Bubano, a village in the municipality of Mordano, near Imola, about 40 km from Bologna, in Italy.
Palio del Torrione arose in 1997 from the cooperation between Pro Loco of Mordano and two associations of Bubano: the sports association U.S. Placci and the theater company “La Quasi Stabile”. Due to the great participation of volunteers, this celebration was also known as “Festinsieme”, which means “Celebrating together”.
The reenactment is inspired by two events that are part of the history of the village: on one hand, the legend of the presence of a dragon in the land around Bubano (maybe a snake or a break of plague), that occurred around 1200; on the other hand, the real and documented presence of Caterina Sforza at the end of 15th century.

According to “Cibo360”  http://bit.ly/Piadina1 , the fight to get from the EU the PGI certification started in 2003 and ended about 10 years later. Producers from Ravenna, Forlì, Cesena, Rimini and Imola wanted to certificate where and how this bread is prepared, in order to avoid confusion with similar preparations, made in different regions and sold in supermarkets using the same name. They also fixed recipe and dimensions: wheat flour, water, salt, olive oil or lard; between 15 – 25 cm bright, 4 - 8 mm high, and 23 – 30 cm bright, 3 mm high.
