La Disfida
Borgo medievale di Calenzano alto
On Sunday, October 18, the medieval village of Calenzano Alto relives the atmosphere of the 14th century with the historical reenactment "Calenzano 1325", culminating in the Disfida between the Lucchesi and the Calenzanesi. Throughout the day (from 10 am to 7 pm), the castle and the village streets host workshops, games, falconry, and ancient crafts, while the afternoon is enlivened by flag-wavers and musicians who challenge each other in rhymes and banners. The highlight is the Disfida at 4:15 pm, a comical rhyming duel between the characters of Castruccio Castracani's siege, combining technique, spectacle, and irony to bring history to life with lightness.
Time: 10:00 am - 7:00 pm Sunday, October 18, 2026, from 10:00 am to 7:00 pm. The main Disfida takes place at 4:15 pm. Location: Medieval village of Calenzano Alto. Free admission. Workshops and games, falconry, ancient crafts throughout the day.
