If you like to visit a medieval town<\/strong>, the most suitable chance is to attend a historical reenactment<\/strong>, an event that involves most of the inhabitants and allows you to join important events happened many centuries ago, as well as a better appreciation of local traditions.<\/p>\n

On this occasion, we suggest to make a stop in San Quirico d’Orcia<\/strong>, a XIII century village where there will be the festival Il Bianco e L\u2019Azzurro on 17th and 18th May.\u00a0In brief, the festival consists of a flag-throwers show, a series of archery competitions and a dinner in the medieval style including theatrical interludes.<\/p>\n

The festival is organized by the Canneti district, in fact its characteristic colors (white and blue) give the title to this event; the start is scheduled for Saturday at 7:00 pm with the performance of the young locals bearers, drummers and archers, followed by the murder at the banquet show, a mystery dinner party<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The banquet will have a menu based on typical medieval dishes and will be served with wooden cutlery, and earthenware plates and glasses, furthermore during the dinner the actors will perform a murder and you’ll have to find the guilty.<\/p>\n

A surprising tasty dinner, recommended if you want to spend the evening in a funny way.<\/p>\n
