In the city center, inside the Medici walls, parades with hundreds of figures in medieval historical costumes from the towns of our province and themed events!

The event lights up the historic center for two full days, transforming the space enclosed by the majestic Medicean Walls into an open-air theater!

Every year, the historical event “A Walk in the Middle Ages.

In the Footsteps of the Griffin” brings to life one of the most glorious and exciting pages of Maremma's history: the legendary siege of 1328.

Here's how the small town of Grosseto managed to thwart the ambitions of Ludwig the Bavarian, Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire.
