Isabella's Night

The 2025 edition of Isabella's Night, the thirteenth, was held on Saturday 5 and Sunday 6 July 2025 in the historic centre of Cerreto Guidi, from 5:00 PM until midnight on both evenings.

Over six hundred people in costume — ladies, knights, nobles, and commoners — animated the village with the grand historical pageant of the four districts, accompanied by drums and cannons. Twenty groups of artists presented over fifty shows, including duels, falconers, martial games, Renaissance dances and music, theatrical performances, flag-wavers, jugglers, and puppeteers, with markets and ancient craft stalls lining the streets.

The scenery involved the Villa Medicea, the Pieve di San Leonardo, and the Oratorio della Santissima Trinità, leading up to the grand finale at the Ponti Medicei with the fire show dedicated to the death of Isabella de' Medici. Tickets were priced at 8 euros (full) and 5 euros (reduced for residents), with free entry for under-18s and residents of the historic centre.
