Riccardo Rocca is the third guardian of the 367th edition of the feast of Sant'Efisio. According to tradition, the appointment took place at sunset on St. Joseph's day. Rocca takes the baton from Bruno Casti, who held the role in 2022.
The Third Guardian is the true director of the Festival, primarily responsible for its organization.
It will therefore be Rocca, an employee of a shipping company, with Stampace in his heart, who on horseback, carrying the banner and escorted by the guardian, will go to get the Alter Nos from the civic building to take it to the small church in the historic center and start at the May Day celebrations.
