The ritual will always be the same: a toast with half a glass of Vernaccia if the star is impaled by the knight.

If, on the other hand, the trophy is gold because it was taken twice or won by an amazon, at that point the glass will be full. Without forgetting the stadium chants with rhymes designed ad hoc to involve the public watching the race. This for the entire duration of the Oristano carousel.

In via Duomo, not only horses, trappings, applause and drum roll: the "Ultras della Sartiglia" are also about to return after two years of silence due to the pandemic. They are the guys who for many years now, exactly since 2005, have been animating the race for the star, giving the audience lots of laughter with performances prepared for the occasion. In short, nothing is improvised and left to chance: for them every year many well-deserved applause. Also this year there will be around twenty, all friends and true Oristano citizens: they will celebrate right under the star, on the steps of the cathedral, with Vernaccia in tow of course, compared to the previous days in the cellars of the Oristano area.

Lovers of the Sartiglia but also of the Carnival in short. “Before we were certainly more - says Andrea Delogu, one of the promoters of the initiative, many years ago - Now less between children and work commitments. But that doesn't matter: the important thing is to still be there today, have fun and entertain. It will be a meeting place for us, given that the various commitments have led us to get lost. The Sartiglia will bring us together once again. This is the coolest thing. This year we will be present on Sundays”. The Ultras della Sartiglia, who promise entertaining choirs and even a few glasses of Vernaccia to the public, the less noisy one, have always shown up in via Duomo dressed the same: on the shirt the name of each of them. A brand to be recognized. This is Sartiglia too. This year more awaited than ever.
