The Atmosphere of the Evening The entire village of Motta Filocastro becomes a grand medieval stage. Making the atmosphere even more authentic and spectacular is the magnificent historical procession of Roger I of Altavilla, great Count of Calabria and Sicily.

It's a magical evening where history comes to life and enchants both young and old—a cultural and recreational experience that combines entertainment, learning, and spectacle.
