Stay at La Casa del Garbo in Florence and partecipate at the Medieval festival of Monteriggioni! The Middle Ages have left their mark in Tuscany more than in any other region of Italy, with the medieval living on in the ancient routes of the pilgrims, the stone of the Romanesque churches, in the intricate architecture of the old towns or in the walls and battlements of a castle like Monteriggioni, which earned a mention by no less than Dante in his Divine Comedy. The Castle of Monteriggioni has remained largely intact and thus provides the natural backdrop for any event with a historical setting. Inside the small old town, still enclosed by the ancient walls mentioned by Dante, the living memory of the Middle Ages reaches an amazing intensity during the days of the festival, when figures dressed in costume, torchbearers, fire dancers and wandering poets transport anyone strolling its streets far into the past.
