Edition 2025 — Arrival of Frederick IV of Aragon

On October 11 and 12, 2025, San Piero Patti relived the arrival of Frederick IV of Aragon with two days of historical re-enactment and the Schiticchio d'Autunno. The historic center was animated by a costumed pageant, flag-wavers, falconers, and the spectacular living Human Chess game in Piazza Gorgone, amidst food stalls, local products, and new wine.

The 2025 edition of the Historical Re-enactment of the Arrival of Frederick IV of Aragon took place in San Piero Patti on Saturday, October 11, and Sunday, October 12, 2025, combined with the Schiticchio d'Autunno.

The grand living Human Chess game animated Piazza Gorgone, while on Sunday afternoon, starting at 5:00 PM, the historical pageant recreated the arrival of King Frederick IV of Aragon and his court in the village. The parade in period costumes was enriched by performers from the historical pageants of Patti, Raccuja, Santa Lucia del Mela, and Itala, by the falconers of the group Gli artigli del re, the Magma company, and flag-wavers.
