Today the spotlight is on Giovanni Utzeri, on Componidori who will lead the knights in challenging fate for the Sartiglia dei Contadini.

Great emotion also for second Andrea Zucca and third Paolo Faedda.

At dawn a prayer in the church of San Giovanni dei Fiori, then a tour of the stables. Greetings to all the knights and then off to a new edition.

From 12pm in the Gremio headquarters in via Aristana the housewives Angelica Pinna and Alice Franceschi begin dressing under the watchful eye of sa housewife Susanna Sanna.

Then the parade, the blessing with sa pippia 'e majiu, the crossing of swords and the race for the star; the descents with su stoccu and finally sa Remada: on Componidori, supine on the back and relying completely on the horse, he blesses the crowd, in one of the moments most awaited by the spectators.

In the afternoon the show moves to via Mazzini where this year it is back to the old. No more stands for the public, the acrobatics can be admired standing behind the barriers.

The event will be broadcast live on Videolina.
