CITTADELLA IN FESTA

 

Back in time to the Middle Ages, with its crafts and its music, armed knights and ladies in the parade, games and competitions for children.

Costumed artisans immerse in their trades, flags and ensigns stud the narrow streets that climb from the town centre to the Rocca.

The ancient crafts relive in their workshops and the public will know the works, arts and knowledges of the past: the history and the use of the silkworm, the handcrafted working of copper, the preparation of the parchment, the grinding of the flour with the hand mill. And more again, you will see the work of the wool carding, the cobbler, the amanuensis, the dyer, the apothecary, the wax craftsman ...

 

Among the curiosities, the camp of Armed, with scenic designs and equipment of the time, the gunsmiths work bench with explanation of use and evolution of weapons and armors, figures that personify knights and squires, sutlers and farriers.

For children, the Village of Fencing Masters (with designated posts with medieval games where they can challenge themselves under the guidance of the fencing master) and medieval Ludos, between large wooden carousels with rotating poles driven by jesters, the swinging sacks, the equilibrium paths and much more.
