This ancient hill town's
wealth of historic and
cultural traditions come to
life in fascinating events
that are held all year round.
Food, wine, art and folklore
all feature at the Sagra di
Suvereto, held in the first
ten days of December.
Tastings of legendary
dishes of wild boar cooked
according to recipes
handed down through the
generations accompany
exhibitions, conferences,
historical re-enactments
such as the conquest of the
Charta Libertatis, the
procession in 13th century
costumes and an archery
contest.
Canto del maggio takes
place in May with
traditional "Maggerini" who
improvise popular songs
and ditties.
During Estate Suveretana,
concerts, shows and
celebrations take place
against the enchanting
background of cloisters
and flagstone streets in the
shadows of the magnificent
palazzos of the historic
centre.
One of the most eagerlyawaited
events takes place
in July: the Medieval
Evenings, when the whole
town dresses in period
costume and a series of
fascinating events take
place, such as weddings
celebrated with Medieval
rites, flag throwing
competitions, archery
tournaments, music and
songs, art exhibitions and
markets selling local
products.
