Wander among traditional market stalls, discover ancient crafts and artistic traditions, and explore the imposing Lower Castle.
Among the official highlights: the crowning of the new Lionora and Oldrada, iconic figures from the Chess Game legend,
and the celebration of the Friendship Pact with the Flag-Throwers of Sbandieratori dei Borghi e Sestieri Fiorentini.
