Calenzano 1325. Castle siege re-enactment

Folk traditions

Marking the 700th anniversary of Castruccio Castracani’s arrival at the village gates, the “Calenzano 1325” historical reenactment returns to the Castle on Sunday, October 18, 2026. Throughout the day—from 10:00 AM to 7:00 PM—visitors can step back in time and immerse themselves in the atmosphere of a 14th-century village. The Castle streets will feature artisans at work, falconry displays, musicians and actors, men-at-arms’ encampments, flag-wavers, children’s games, and food stalls serving traditional menus. Promoted by the Municipality of Calenzano, the event is organized by the Calenzano Tourist Association, with artistic direction by the *Alfieri e Musici della Valmarina* association and in collaboration with the *Agresto* association.

On Sunday, October 18, proceedings begin at 10:00 AM in Piazza Vittorio Veneto with the formation and departure of the historical procession; the arrival at the Castle and a flag and drum performance follow at 11:30 AM. Food stalls within the village open at 12:00 PM, while the refreshment area in the garden remains open all day. A flag performance takes place at 5:00 PM, followed by the event's finale: a fire show presented by the *Alfieri*.
