Tomorrow is the start of the ‘Festa dei Barbari’ in Castel Rigone. For four days the village reverts back to the year 543 AD when, according to tradition, the Ostrogothic Arrigo (or Rigone), lieutenant of Totila, used the area to establish a base of operations that would maintain the siege of the city of Perugia. Hence the name of our village. Castel Rigone. So join us in the barbaric Middle Ages with a daily market, fighting with swords and axes, music, dancing, duels and the revival of ancient crafts. Each evening the trestle tables in the square will be overflowing with villagers and visitors enjoying a Barbarian feast of local delicacies like Cinghiale with wine in abundance. Music, Fire eating and dancing. Duels and hilarious fights.
