The Giro di Campania returns to Caserta after 25 years on Sunday, 20 September 2026, with the start from the Royal Palace area in Piazza Carlo di Borbone. The caravan leaves Caserta at 10:00 and heads toward Maddaloni, where the competitive start is scheduled for 10:30.
The event is organized with the involvement of the Campania Region, the City of Naples, the Royal Palace of Caserta, the Italian Cycling Federation, and the provinces and municipalities along the route.
Start times in Caserta
According to the local report, the caravan departs from Piazza Carlo di Borbone at 10:00. The 8.5 kilometres between Caserta and Maddaloni are covered as a neutral transfer at touring speed. The official racing start is set in Maddaloni at 10:30.
The route through Caserta
In the urban section of Caserta, the caravan follows Viale Douhet, Piazza Dante, Corso Trieste, Via Unità d'Italia, Viale Medaglie d'Oro, Viale dei Bersaglieri and the Sottovia Vincenzo De Angelis, before continuing toward Maddaloni.
From there, the race covers 193.1 kilometres through the five provinces of Campania, finishing in Piazza del Plebiscito in Naples.
Road closures and traffic suspension
Traffic will be temporarily suspended along the provincial race route starting one hour before the riders pass. During the suspension, entry onto and crossing of the route are prohibited for unauthorized vehicles and pedestrians.
Emergency vehicles retain priority passage in case of emergency.
The exact closure and reopening times for each individual city street in Caserta have not been published in the sources available, and the full text of the Caserta Prefecture order was not available. Operational diversions may be managed by officers on site.
Parking in Caserta
No parking ban has been reported for Corso Trieste or the other city streets used by the transfer section in Caserta. Parked cars may therefore remain in place until the race passes.
Drivers who normally use the streets listed above should expect to be held before and during the passage, because entry and crossing are prohibited for unauthorized vehicles once the suspension is in force.
The race in brief
The 2026 race is the 64th edition of the Giro di Campania. It is listed as a UCI 1.1 race and forms part of the Coppa Italia delle Regioni.
The field includes 124 riders from 18 teams, over a course of almost 200 kilometres, measured at 193.1 kilometres from Caserta to Naples.
What readers should check
Plan movements around the 10:00 departure from Piazza Carlo di Borbone and the subsequent transfer toward Maddaloni. Avoid entering or attempting to cross the listed Caserta streets in the hour before the caravan passes, leave parked cars where they are unless directed otherwise, and keep the route clear for emergency access.
