La Disfida del Tricorniolo: The Heart of the Medieval Days of San Marino

The Medieval Days of San Marino are an unmissable event for enthusiasts of medieval history and culture. This year, the program includes the enthusiastic participation of Sammarinese historical groups, who will be the undisputed protagonists of the edition. The highlight of the event will undoubtedly be the Tricorn Challenge, which will take place on Sunday evening at the Cava dei Balestrieri, a historic location where the main performances are held every night.

The Tricorn Challenge represents the pinnacle of the Medieval Days, a moment of high tension and spectacle where skill, precision, and courage come together in an exciting competition. Alongside the Sammarinese groups, led by the Sammarinese Crossbowmen Federation, the Challenge will feature crossbowmen from other medieval cities like Lucca, Volterra, Massa Marittima, Pisa, and Sansepolcro. These groups, known for their mastery of the crossbow, will compete in a contest that promises to be as exciting as it is educational, offering spectators a unique glimpse into medieval shooting techniques.

The event is also an opportunity to immerse oneself in the daily life of the Middle Ages through historical re-enactments, craft demonstrations, and historical games organized by various groups. The specific locations assigned to the Sammarinese groups will become living theaters, where visitors of all ages can learn and experience the traditions of a bygone era.

We invite all history enthusiasts, families, and tourists to participate in this extraordinary festival of culture and entertainment. Not only will you have the chance to witness the Tricorn Challenge, but you can also enjoy shows, workshops, and activities that will provide an authentic immersion into the past.
