Banqueting at Court: Theatre at the Table

The 2025 Edition

Throughout 2025, the Castelli in Aria Cultural Academy continued its activities at Mongiorgio Castle, in Monte San Pietro (Bologna), with the costumed dinner-shows that have characterized it for years. The evenings revisited the "theatre at the table" format, where the audience sits at the court's table and becomes part of the scene.

A medieval-Renaissance themed banquet, theatrical performance, music, and entertainment moments with games and simulations enlivened the manor's halls, recreated by the Academy based on historical sources related to the Bologna Hills territory. The edition confirmed Mongiorgio as a small cultural hub open to concerts, costumed guided tours, and historical reenactments.
