A Special night in Foligno – The Quintana Historical Parade – Virtual Walking Tour
Join us for an engaging virtual walking tour of Foligno, where the rich history and lively traditions of the Giostra della Quintana come to life. This famous jousting tournament, held in June and September, sees knights from Foligno’s ten districts competing in an age-old challenge.
The evening before the tournament, the city center hosts a grand historical parade. With the guidance of our local expert, Patrizia, you’ll get to experience this spectacular parade. Hundreds of participants dressed in elaborate Baroque costumes bring the past to life. You’ll see noblemen and ladies, knights on horseback, drummers, trumpeters, and flag bearers, all creating a breathtaking display.
Patrizia will guide you through Foligno’s rich cultural heritage as you watch the districts (Rioni) proudly parade in their stunning historical outfits. The atmosphere is electric, full of vibrant colors, sounds, and the deep emotions of a community closely tied to its history. Along the way, we will share interesting details about the history of the Giostra della Quintana, the meaning behind the costumes and banners, and the longstanding rivalries between the districts, all set against the backdrop of Foligno’s beautiful medieval architecture.
Don’t miss this chance to experience the magic of Foligno’s most iconic event from the comfort of your home. Sign up now to be a part of this extraordinary virtual experience!
