Rievocando con gli Arcieri del 1427

History Comes Alive in Maclodio

Rievocando con gli Arcieri del 1427 is the festival with which Maclodio, a municipality in the Bassa Bresciana area of the Brescia province, celebrates the episode that linked its name to history: the Battle of Maclodio on October 12, 1427, in which the Venetian army led by Carmagnola defeated the Milanese troops of the Visconti. An event that marked the balance of power in 15th-century Northern Italy.

Between Archers and Flag-Wavers

The heart of the event is the archery competition that sees four teams competing, a direct reference to the archers who were protagonists of the historical clash. Accompanying the competition are the flag-wavers, period games, and the evocative atmosphere of a reenactment that brings ancient and magical times back to life, engaging both adults and children.

Engines and Tradition

Alongside the historical dimension, the festival also features an exhibition of vintage cars and motorcycles, which combines the charm of the medieval past with that of historic vehicles. An unusual but successful blend, which broadens the audience and enriches the weekend program at the Municipal Sports Centre.

The Commitment of Pro Loco

Organized by the Pro Loco Maclodio Association, the event keeps alive the memory of the battle, which was historically reenacted on a larger scale every five years and which the town has chosen to celebrate annually in a more streamlined version. A way to enhance Maclodio's historical identity and its place in the history of the province of Brescia.
