The reckless kisses smacked on the masks by Andrea Zucca and Paolo Faedda, while standing on the saddle they launched the horses into a gallop, not only won over the audience in via Mazzini, who welcomed the performance with thunderous applause, but also unanimously convinced the jury of the Sartiglia, which for the first time awarded the “sympathy prize”.
A few days after the closing, it is already time for verdicts for the 120 protagonists of the joust : the commission composed of the president Roberto Salaris, the judges of merit Roberto Palmieri, Ignazio Serra and Furio Tocco, and the quality judges Federico Fadda and Antonio Mura has drawn up the ranking of the best of the 2025 edition.

In second place Davide Fiori, Rodolfo Manni and Gianluca Fais, followed by Gianluca Manunza, Salvatore Carrus and Marco Bardino. Also awarded were the three out of three performed by the fourth-placed Matteo Licheri, Filippo Sechi and Sergio Ledda, and the fifth-placed Tullio Zucca, Roberto Serra and Giampaolo Secci.
