The Medieval Day is a unique event. Every year the Terzieri stage historical reconstructions of events that really happened in Narni in the years around 1371, in different and original ways and places.
The City Statutes, translated by R. Bartolucci, are the primary source for such stories, along with a myriad of other local texts, from the Narnese Chronicle of Martinori to the Diplomatic Fund of the Municipal Historical Archives of A. Diamanti and C. Mariani.
Overall, the bibliography is enriched by various monographs, depending on the theme on stage.
After the historical likelihood of the plot, however romanticized, the environment in which it takes place becomes fundamental. Customs and customs are studied, locally and not, by comparison. Impressive sceneries are then reconstructed, such as doors, shops, market stalls, to which sounds, smells and images give life.
The details, finally, make the narrative authentic: costumes, weapons, animals, furnishings, smoke, the smell of food, children playing, objects that break: life lived.
The Medieval Day goes on.
The history comes to life and becomes a show.
