Monteriggioni di Torri si Corona (Monteriggioni Medieval Festival)

Monteriggioni, Italy

Monteriggioni's 'di Torri si Corona' festival fills the tiny walled hilltop village near Siena with costumed performers, craft stalls, taverns, games and encampments over a long weekend in July. It has run since 1990 and takes its name from Dante's line in the Inferno describing the castle's crown of towers.

Festa dell'Unicorno

Vinci, Italy

The Festa dell'Unicorno takes over the walled centre of Vinci, Leonardo's hill town, for three days each July with themed 'worlds' that range from a medieval citadel with market and knights to steampunk, cosplay, comics and horror, plus hundreds of shows and concerts and some 200 market stands. The medieval backbone is the town itself, its castle of the Conti Guidi and the knights' quarter and market; the rest is openly fantasy, and it is Italy's largest festival of the kind.
