A Small City With Spirit

Monselice, is so good, that even their own citizens don't know how good it is. They have such great activities and their citizens show off their heritage with style.
I like going there, and it feels good to walk the streets of Monselice. It would be a place I would choose to live in Italy if I had that choice.
I will provide some fotos of a recent medieval parade that Monselice had. Two hours of wonderful costumes and plenty of action to keep everyone having fun.
Take a look. things to do.....

Pushing War Machines, etc.
human power - Monselice

human power

There were plenty of war machines, men in armor, and other military exhibits.
Most of the carts were pulled or pushed by human power. All interesting to view.

Real Weapons
authentic looking gear - Monselice

authentic looking gear

There is usually a bow and arrow contest during these medieval festivals. You can expect that the marksmen are pretty good and these are real arrows, hand made.
