Castiglion Fiorentino is a small, walled city in eastern Tuscany, in the province of Arezzo, between the cities of Arezzo and Cortona. It is well known for its annual festivals and Etruscan archeological site. In 1849 Garibaldi passed through on the way from Cortona to Arezzo and he and his four thousand men rested and ate in the main square; this square is now known as Piazzale Garibaldi.
Castiglion has many festivals throughout the year including the famous “Palio dei Rioni” on the third Sunday of June. Similar to the festival in Siena, the Palio dei Rioni is a horse race around Piazza Garibaldi, including a colourful and energetic display of the ancient custom of flag-waving, which dates back to the 13th century.
