Edition 2025 — Magico Medioevo

The 2025 edition of Magico Medioevo took place on August 23 and 24 in San Michele di Ganzaria. Two intense evenings transformed the historic center into a medieval village, with historical processions, a re-enactment of the Founding Chapters, flag-wavers, archery and crossbow challenges, Arbëreshë dances by the Fluturo Shqipe group, an artisan market, and spectacular fire performances in the town squares.
