An event that blends history and legend, a fascinating journey into the heart of the Renaissance, where the tradition of the Living Lady comes to life every year, amidst drums, yellow and blue flags, and the enthusiasm of the audience.
The historical reenactment of Conegliano returns on Sunday, June 1st, with a special edition dedicated to the battle of 1233 between Conegliano and Treviso. That year, the people of Conegliano repelled the assault of the Trevigiani and took them prisoners to the Castle of Conegliano. The Trevigiani were forced to pull a cart with the winners on it, climbing the steep Calle degli Asini to the Castle.
The highlight of the show, titled "Anno Domini 1233", is the traditional game of living chess, in which two neighborhoods of the city symbolically compete to receive the keys of Conegliano and guard them for an entire year.
The event will start at 8:00 PM with the Renaissance Parade, featuring over 200 performers in historical costumes traversing the city. The show will begin at 9:00 PM in Piazza Cima. In case of rain, the event will be postponed to Monday, June 2nd. To watch the game, it is necessary to purchase a ticket on the association's website.
Don't miss this extraordinary opportunity to experience the history of Conegliano, filled with passion, tradition, and magic!
