Summer is in full swing and Italy celebrates summer by hosting a number of special festivals and activities.
As I mentioned previously, Sienna's famous horse race, Il Palio, is held during July and August. Before the race, there is a colorful procession complete with people in medieval costume. For more information click here.
The Disfida degli Arceri di Terre e di Corte is held in Fivizzano, which is located in northern Tuscany. Local archers compete in this medieval festival reenactment, complete with costumes and flag throwers. Click here for more about this event.
As always, thanks for reading!
