Bellinzona, 1176. Life in the town flows serenely between customs and traditions that have always characterized the habits of the people. While weapons and horses are being prepared in the camps waiting to start an important tournament, a scream breaks the peace: a woman is accused of witchcraft, in the public square, tried and burned at the stake. The tournament is spectacular, the challenge turns into battle as Emperor Frederick Barbarossa is about to arrive. Bellinzona, 2019. Tradition and adventure come back to life again this year in "The sword in the fortress", a monumental Living History event that takes us back in time. History lives once again in front of the audience and those who made this splendour possible tell us about their path and their passion. |
