Ladies, Knights And Medieval Reenactments

It 'a journey through time that we propose to take with us in this land, whose appearance in the imagination of us all, is inextricably linked to the Middle Ages as it is the era of Baroque Rome or Tuscany to the Renaissance. A journey that lives on in many pageants that animate the Umbria in May and June, when every town and city of art as a spring and its people become set in a fairy-tale past. Ladies, knights and merchants priori, that parade solemn and elegant medieval on the pavement, the sound of drums and trumpets, this is the scenario that you will ever see coming in Umbria, that you are in Assisi (May Day, 5-7 May) or Gubbio (Corsa dei Ceri, May 15) or Narni (Race of the ring, until May 8), from north to south without interruption. We will lead you by the hand to the discovery of piles, knights' tournaments, matches between districts to the rhythm of songs, dances and serenades of love, then to celebrate the winner in the medieval taverns where food and wine are served in earthenware cups and plates and the "servants "move in their medieval outfits. We have read the wonder and enchantment in the eyes of tourists, especially beyond the Alps and overseas, assisting kidnapped these choreographic performances, the fruit of the Umbrian for their past and traditions, passed down with ever new enthusiasm and made rigor and commitment. We have learned through the stories of people and re-enactments in costume, the less official history of Umbria, one made by the common people, just on special occasions and rites, linked to the life rhythm of nature. We drank, tasted, eaten without restraint the delights of Umbrian cuisine prepared with local products and ideas in a pleasant and quite informal, on a dinner table of raw wood inside the medieval taverns. We tried, and shared experiences, to discover that more than anywhere else in the Umbria TOURISM EXPERIENCE is a philosophy of life and not a tourism marketing strategy. We also sang hymns to Our Lady in Spring, during the May Day parades of Assisi, and quietly praise the name of Mary in the Marian celebrations dedicated to her in May, to which you happen to participate although it was not in the plans. Moving between the sacred and the profane, in this land of great saints and valiant soldiers of fortune, we decided to dedicate two routes that are developed around these themes, inserting moments of mystical places and situations in convivial festive pageants. A formula apt to know the true identity of Umbria, for responsible tourists that you do not stop, but apparently you want to get into the social fabric and traditions of a region that does not like to talk about himself, but he knows to be generous to those who discover it with discretion. Intimate and secluded are the facilities that have hosted us during our journey through time in Umbria, unearthed by chance in our pilgrimage alien to most tourist circuits rates. Rustic or refined, or surrounded by scenic green, ready to welcome visitors in comfortable apartments with private garden and patio. Country house with pool, spa suite for a few relaxing moments. Umbrian farmhouse where good food is at home, that home-made with fresh ingredients produced by the same company that welcomes guests. Exploring the area, we realized that although they provide great outdoors so they seem isolated in the middle of the Umbrian countryside, in fact, farm, cottages, apartments, country houses and relays are present in large numbers, creating a tourism offer rather than exhaustive. And as well as the amount we have here also a good level of quality, the choice becomes even more difficult. Our advice is to entrust to someone who knows the territory and knows how to advise the most suitable accommodation to meet your needs.
