Laterina Medievale - Of Iron and Fire

Laterina Medievale 2025

The 2025 edition of the Of Iron and Fire festival confirmed the village of Laterina, in the municipality of Laterina Pergine Valdarno (Arezzo province, Tuscany), as one of the most evocative medieval re-enactments in the Valdarno. Following the opening events of 'Waiting for the Festival' (July 19 and 20), the heart of the event came alive over the weekend of July 25, 26, and 27.

Throughout the event, the historic center hosted grand processions along the medieval alleys, ceremonies with costumed participants, birds of prey flights with falconers, sword fighting, fire shows, and street performers. The taverns and artisan workshops, set up by the La Rocca association with the contribution of hundreds of volunteers, offered period cuisine and demonstrations of ancient trades. Entry to the village remained free.
