He'll be back, in fact, one of the most original and entertaining events of the summer of Monferrato, the Palio of straw bales, organized by Pro Loco Ovada Ovadese and Monferrato. This is a friendly match during which various groups will have to confront each other in terms of skills, having to go through the streets of the historic center of Ovada pushing huge bales of straw.
