Medieval Festival - Monteriggioni
History has never been so much fun: people dressed up in historical costumes, the possibility to watch a challenge tournament between thirteenth century knights, a battle with piker men, halberdiers, infantrymen and harquebusiers. The fortress of Monteriggioni will be animated by jesters, street artists, jugglers, men on stilts musicians and minstrels. You will even have the possibility to watch the enactment of medieval scenes proposed by improvised actors on the streets. Forget the Euro, after going through the fortress gates you will use ancient coins that have been minted in Lucca. How to get them? You’ll find bankers with their safety deposits offering an exchange service. The objective of the Festival is to re-create a setting which is so complete that the visitor is transported back in time. Believe me: it’s fun and at least once in a lifetime you should live this medieval atmosphere.
