Medieval re-enactment of August
The second and third Sunday of August, Volterra goes back in time to the Middle Ages: all the figures we know and love from medieval times, from bold knights, nobles and ladies to monks, friars, artisans and merchants, and of course, peasants, flag bearers , archers, soldiers, jugglers, musicians and jesters unite to evoke the magical atmosphere of the past.
Volterra AD 1398 is one of the most beautiful and appreciated Italian historical re-enactments. The festival takes place in the pulsating heart of medieval Volterra and in the magnificent Parco di Castello dominated by the austere bulk of the Medici Fortress.
VOLTERRA AD 1398
This year’s edition has been canceled and postponed to 2021
The historic center of the city comes alive with a never-ending past and visitors are transported, as if by magic, back in time. Fierce steeds, daring knights, nobles, ladies, artisans and merchants, commoners and peasants, flag bearers, crossbowmen and soldiers, jugglers, musicians and jesters revive the mysterious medieval town of Volterra by magic. The highlight of the event is the “Festival Day in the Domains of 1398” which takes place the second and third Sunday of August. On that occasion, from dawn to dusk, a medieval city of 1398 will revive with shows, events, markets, artisans, musicians, jugglers, commoners and nobles: a truly unique opportunity to immerse yourself in the magical atmosphere of the Middle Ages, in one of the most beautiful cities in Tuscany.
