Two days of gaming, cosplay, and medieval adventures in the heart of Spoleto
Spoleto Fantasy Play brings to Spoleto, in the province of Perugia, a major festival dedicated to the world of gaming, fantasy, and pop culture. For two days, the historic center transforms into an immersive experience of cosplay, role-playing games, tournaments, medieval villages, and artistic performances.
The heart of the event is the tournaments: from video games (FC26, Fortnite, Call of Duty) to card and board games (Magic, One Piece, Riftbound, Beyblade), up to chess and Subbuteo. There is also a grand team treasure hunt in medieval costume, meetings with Star Wars characters, and comic book and illustration workshops.
The program blends the playful dimension with the historical one: demonstrations of archery and fencing, medieval settings, and a cosplay competition with a traditional contest and photo contest. Activities are spread across multiple locations in the center, from the Rocca Albornoz to the Gardens of Viale Matteotti, from Palazzo Mauri to Piazza Garibaldi, from the San Nicolรฒ Complex to the Stella Auditorium.
Spoleto Fantasy Play is organized in collaboration with the Youth Council of the Municipality of Spoleto and aims to be one of the emerging events dedicated to fantasy and pop culture in central Italy.
