The 55th Race of the Vaporetti, a race at breakneck speed through upper Spoleto, will be held from June 14th to June 16th 2019.
The thrilling final of the race will take place on June 16th along the winding streets of the old town.
Vaporetti are small carts on iron wheels, with a team of two, a pusher and a driver. The name comes from a steam-engine coach, the ‘vaporiera’, that from 1902 to 1909 used to serve the Spoleto-Norcia route, the first in Italy.
The race, which takes place along the streets that cross the historic city centre, has established itself as a successful local tradition, attracting every year an increasing number of spoletini and visitors.
Organization: Associazione Corsa dei Vaporetti di Spoleto ASD, in collaboration with AVIS Spoleto.
