During the second half of May, the ‘Sagra’ is held in the city of Sassari and it’s one of the most celebrated popular events of the island. During the past, riding these horses was a way to pay respect to important guests, but with time the approach to this manifestation changed and became a party of people walking and riding in a procession. People wear ancient costumes typical of every region of the island, the same ones that their ancestors only used to wear on special occasions, making this ‘Sagra’ not only very special for all Sardinians but also one of the most important popular celebrations of the island. Undoubtedly the most important element of this celebration is the horse, man’s life and work companion and its only transport at that time. The extremely long procession is formed by 4000 men in costumes and 400 horses coming from Abbasanta, Santu Lussurgiu and Ghilarza. It’s then concluded with knights and amazons who show their acrobatic abilities of high speed and extreme precisions with ‘pariglie’ and ‘parazzas’. During the evening the party continue with music and dancing in Italia’s square in Sedilo.
