Teggiano transforms into a medieval stage where history comes alive in an extraordinary way. 'Alla Tavola della Principessa Costanza' is a historical reenactment that takes the village back over 500 years, to the lavish wedding reception of Antonello Sanseverino and Costanza da Montefeltro in 1480. Each evening, a spectacular procession of ladies, knights, musicians, and flag-wavers marches from the walls of Castello Macchiaroli to Piazza San Cono, authentically recreating the costumes and ceremonies of a distant era that continues to captivate. The true heart of the event pulses through 9 medieval taverns scattered throughout the village's narrow streets, where visitors can savour the cuisine of bygone times. Fusilli with ragù, cavatieddi, pasta and beans, accompanied by local cured meats and cheeses, are served alongside the famous 'Torta del Duca'. To make the experience even more immersive, you can purchase period coins such as Ducats and Coronati, becoming an active part of this gastronomic and historical journey. But the magic of Teggiano extends beyond food: the streets come alive with travelling performances featuring jugglers, acrobats, fire-eaters, and falconers, creating a kaleidoscopic atmosphere of sounds and colours. The evening's climax arrives with the evocative 'Assault on the Castle', a spectacular finale that concludes this immersive experience of history, flavours, and collective wonder.
