SPOLTORE – The atmosphere of the Middle Ages returns to the scene in Spoltore (Pescara): “Not a re-enactment but a true story, to be experienced, experienced and remembered”, say the organizers.
Saturday 2 and Sunday 3 July there are many appointments between “the clink of weapons and the glitter of armor, between dances and battles. Spoltore welcomes you by day with flags in the wind and by night in a magical open-air theater, amidst the laughter of jesters and cheerful music, amidst evocative atmospheres and ancient sensations. The Middle Ages in Spoltore is all this and much more, the Middle Ages in Spoltore are you, who become part of the party ”, say the organizers of the event, the volunteers of the“ Gianni Silvidii ”association.
From Saturday morning until late Sunday evening other shows and entertainment will take place, while a plethora of artists and artisans, nobles and servants, walkers and acrobats, warriors and figures will delight the visitors “, they add.
“Finally, it will be possible to taste, as in medieval taverns and inns, some drinks used by the ancient inhabitants of Spoltore. some of which are nowadays obsolete. Visitors will then be able to witness the faithful historical reconstruction of some ancient crafts, such as, for example, the potter, the stonemason, the engraver, the blacksmith, the weaver, the leather worker, the basket., The paper maker, The bookbinder, the ceraiolo, II carpenter, scribe, apothecary, rope maker, etc. The above program is not to be considered definitive, in consideration of the always possible (but never desirable) inconveniences of the last minute “.
