Edition 2025 — Siege of Brescia 1238

The 14th edition of Frederick II and the Siege of Brescia animated the Castle of Brescia between late May and early June 2025. Hundreds of re-enactors recreated the 1238 siege, with encampments, historical camps, fencing and archery demonstrations, night parades, and fiery sword duels, in a well-attended free event.

The 2025 edition of Frederick II and the Siege of Brescia confirmed the strength of the re-enactment promoted by the Confraternita del Leone. The Castle of Brescia traveled back in time to 1238, with encampments, educational stalls, and historical camps animated by costumed re-enactors.

Demonstrations of medieval fencing, archery, night parades, and fiery sword duels marked the days, bringing adults and children closer to the medieval history of the "Lioness of Italy." An edition that prepared for the 15th in 2026.
