The medieval re-enactment in the hillside village above La Spezia
Clinging to the hills overlooking La Spezia, in Liguria, the village of Biassa holds an ancient charm, made of stone alleys and views of the Gulf of Poets. Every November, for St. Martin's Feast, the village relives its past with Biassa in the Middle Ages, a historical re-enactment that transforms the town into a village of yesteryear.
On the feast day, the streets of Biassa come alive with costumed participants, re-enactments, craft markets, and food stalls offering traditional dishes. The medieval atmosphere recreated among the stone houses of the village offers visitors an immersive experience, suspended between history and imagination.
The event, organized by the Pro Loco Insieme per Biassa, has obtained the EPLI quality label and is recognized as an Authentic Ligurian Event. These recognitions testify to the value of the feast and the community's commitment to keeping it alive and well-maintained.
Biassa in the Middle Ages is also an opportunity to discover an authentic corner of the La Spezia hinterland, far from the usual tourist routes. A community celebration that tells the identity of a village and its deep connection with the history and traditions of eastern Liguria.
The 2026 edition of Biassa in the Middle Ages is scheduled for November, on the occasion of St. Martin's Feast, following the tradition of the event taking place on the second Sunday of the month. The precise date will be confirmed by Pro Loco Insieme per Biassa.
