In August 2026, various towns in Italy hosted historical reenactments to celebrate local heritage and regional history.

Castelluccio Valmaggiore organized a parade recreating a 1444 investiture ceremony involving the Duke of Bari and the Barony of Val Maggiore. The event featured participants portraying medieval figures, including nobles, clergy, and peasants, accompanied by traditional music and flag-bearers.

Orsara di Puglia held a separate procession featuring approximately 150 participants, including reenactors of Calatrava knights and monks. This event commemorated the historical ties established in 1146 during the era of the Prioria di Bamba.
