Giornata di festa dell'Anno Domini 1398 (Festival Day of the Year of Our Lord 1398)

Volterra A.D. 1398 is a captivating journey into the Middle Ages that transforms one of Tuscany's most beautiful cities into a living stage of history and culture. During the festival days on Sundays, August 10th and 17th, the historic centre with its austere palaces and atmospheric squares comes alive with performances, music and colours, while in the Archaeological Park dominated by the Medici Fortress, the medieval countryside springs to life with villages, shepherds, hermitages and military encampments. This unique event offers visitors the extraordinary opportunity to immerse themselves, as if by magic, in the atmosphere of 1398 through engaging and multisensory experiences. Merchants, craftsmen, musicians and jugglers animate the streets, nobles and commoners interact with the public, creating an authentically medieval atmosphere that transports spectators back in time. Weapon demonstrations and falconry in the archaeological park alternate with performances in the historic centre, while a dedicated children's area ensures fun for the whole family. An unmissable opportunity to discover Tuscany from a fascinating historical perspective and participate in an event that combines entertainment, culture and tradition.
