Laterina
Medieval Feast
29-30-31 July 2011

 

The Association La Rocca, during the last weekend of July, brings back to its ancient splendour, the much loved Laterina castle.
All the visitors will be enchanted by the old atmosphere full of sounds and colours, we will recreate.

The events of the Feast:

On Friday, at 7:15 p.m., our usual cultural appointment: the Conference held in San Rocco (Giardino Pubblico). This year Mr Paolo Chiozzi, professor of Visual Anthropology at the University of Florence, will talk about the drawing exhibition “I Colori del mio Castello”, a project realised with the children of Laterina (the Conference will be in Italian).

 

During the three days of the Feast many acting compagnie will bright up the streets of our little village: the “Errabundi Musici” musicians and the “Tamburi del Re” drummers will cheer up everybody with their music.

The “Compagnia Pyro-Fly” and “Ani-Ma in Volo” will perform their fantastic shows of street theatre and fire and aerial silk.
And then: “Mago Messer Paolo dei Ligattieri” with his magics and the wandering entertainers “Gran Giullare Virgola” and “Giullari di Davide Rossi”.
 

On Saturday evening, the amazing show “Atmosfere Medievali” of the acting company “Piccolo Nuovo Teatro – ATMO” and on Sunday the performances of the rapacious birds that will make all keep their head turned-up!

 

During the three days of the Feast there will be medieval processions, the oath of allegiance of our Army, historical recollections of the pasto f Laterina. Visitors will admire our War Machines, will be able to visit the Medieval Market and eat or drink in our taverns.
