In 1962 a fundamental event took place for the palio: in that year the medieval pageant was completely reorganized, with the quality of the costumes which grew considerably. Moreover the costumes, and their realization, became specific of the Sagra del Carroccio; until 1962 many of them were borrowed from subjects external to the Legnese demonstration: most of the clothes came from the La Scala theater in Milan, where they were mostly used in the opera La battaglia di Legnano by Giuseppe Verdi.D'Ilario, 1984, p. 346.Ferrarini, p. 184.
