ℹ️ Lucca Medievale 2025
Since 2015, the Associazione Contrade di San Paolino has organized an annual medieval village to revisit the history and daily life of an era that has always fascinated people of all ages.
Lucca Medievale is a rich event and workshop where social and symbolic activities represent a meeting point between the past and the present. Various historical re-enactment activities will be set up in the square, such as street performances, falconry shows, music and ancient medieval dances, fencing tournaments, and ancient bench crossbow and hand crossbow tournaments. Since 2023, greater emphasis has been placed on research, design, and staging of ancient medieval crafts and how everyday objects were made.
The goal is to convey ancient customs, traditions, and practices in an engaging and interactive way and to strengthen historical memory and connections with the past.
