In the small town of Lanciano in
Abruzzo in central Italy, a magical event takes place from the last Sunday in August until the first Sunday in September; the Mastrogiurato di Lanciano! This is a celebration of a legendary medieval fair filled with delicious banquets, old fashioned tavern style tents, jugglers, street performers, medieval games of chivalry between knights, parades and much more!
If you would like to enjoy a week of fulfilling entertainment then you can enjoy a stay at a pretty
vacation rental in Marina di San Vito town, about ten minute's drive from Lanciano.
This exciting festival derived its name from the period of 1304 when Charles II of Anjou appointed a ‘Mastrogiurato’ to govern the local town fairs, welcome guests and keep the peace between travelling merchants when trading their goods.
