Civitanova Alta to host medieval reenactment of 1292 historical events
Civitanova Alta will host a large-scale historical reenactment titled ‘Lo Gran Guasto di Civitate Nova’ on Saturday, September 5, 2026. The event, scheduled from 19:00 to midnight, aims to transform the town's historic center into an open-air stage to recreate the atmosphere of the 13th century.
The performance focuses on the historical events of 1292, specifically the city's struggle for defense following an attack by armed men from Fermo. The narrative will involve actors, musicians, dancers, and combatants moving through various locations, including Piazza della Libertà, Piazza XXV Luglio, and the Chiostro di San Francesco.
Key plot elements include the city's Podestà enlisting a group of professional soldiers led by Ubaldo Fossocaronte, alongside themes of suspicion and betrayal within the city walls. The evening is expected to culminate in a final battle for the city's defense in Piazza della Libertà, featuring music, fire shows, and choreographed combat.
