06049 Spoleto PG
Italia
The 54th Race of the Vaporetti, a race at breakneck speed through upper Spoleto, will take place from June 15th to June 17th 2018.
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.
Programme:
9 June – Piazza Garibaldi (presentation of participating crews and selection of Miss Vaporetto contestants)
15 June – city circuit (tests at night)
16 June – city circuit (tests and race in the afternoon and evening)
17 June – city circuit (race)
Organization: Associazione Corsa dei Vaporetti di Spoleto ASD, in collaboration with AVIS Spoleto.
