Palio

Another Italian type tradition is Palio. Basically it's an athletic contest with stuff like horse racing, archery, jousting, etc. As a twist that even suits Montevalno? The competitors compete in costume.
It sounds a bit like the olympics in that you have teams, though in this it's usually hamlets/cities. More, all the events are medieval in nature. So we can come up with anything we like since that fits the theme pretty well.
Another option? Adding in other contests like wine making, art, storytelling, etc.
