Edition 2025 — Partita a Scacchi di Marostica

The Living Chess Game was not held in 2025: the event is biennial and takes place only in even-numbered years. The last edition before 2026 was in September 2024, with over 500 figures and four performances in the walled town of Marostica.

In 2025, the Living Chess Game was not performed: the great reenactment of Marostica is held biennially and takes place exclusively in even-numbered years, in September. The immediately preceding edition was in September 2024 (September 6-8), which brought over 500 figures in Renaissance costume to Piazza Castello to stage the legend of the beautiful Lionora from 1454. In odd-numbered years, the town still lives its chess vocation through collateral events, but the great Game returns only the following year, in 2026.

Programme

The event is biennial: no performance was held in 2025. The great Chess Game returned in September 2026 (an even year).
