Sedilo All Events
• A WorldWeb.com Travel Guide to All Events in Sedilo, OR, Sardinia.
L'Ardia di San Costantino Festival
TBA
This somewhat dangerous yearly race is run by brave horsemen atop their faithful steeds, re-enacting Costantino il Grande's victory over Massenzio in the year 312 in Rome. Participants include riders representing Constantino and the Massenzio, costumed flag men and a believable army doing their best to thwart the efforts of the Massenzio. The roles are played by villagers who wait years, even decades, for the privilege, and the end is always a surprise. The faithful make pilgrimages to Sedilo from all over Sardinia, and Constantino's victory means Christianity's survival for another year.
