An event belonging to the Cesena historical tradition, that brings back the ancient medieval splendor of chivalric values, sumptuous clothes, flags and banners: from Saturday, September 6th to Sunday, September 14th the Giostra all'Incontro - Joust of Cesena will delight us with flag-wavers, knights and shows that will enliven the city center. A fascinating journey through time that is repeated year after year in the Malatesta city.
It is a unique event in the world for its cultural, historical and spectacular importance. Only in Cesena, in fact, was the Giostra all'Incontro institutionalized and took place annually by virtue of an official recognition: the Joust was granted a special and perpetual privilege to the city in 1465 by Pope Paul II and continued in an equally uninterrupted way until 1838. Thus, the knights return to their "home" after 184 years.
The event to be held in Piazza del Popolo will be accompanied by a rich program of initiatives: historical parade, theatrical performance, historical-photographic exhibition, guided tours and in-depth conferences.
Admission is free, until full capacity is reached.
