TORNEOINARMATURA is an event which re-enacts a TOURNAMENT ON FOOT IN CLOSED FIELD in a time period between 1450 and 1480. Each delegation represents a Lordship or a family (either Italian or foreign).
The event is not only a sports fight, but even includes everything that revolves around it: the display of the man-at-arms's martial strength, gleaming in his armour, as well as the wealth of his delegation, demonstrated by their clothes and accessories, which were once the symbol of the power of the family they represented.
This edition of TORNEOINARMATURA, which will take place on Saturday 12th and Sunday 13th October 2024, is dedicated exclusively to re-enactors. It will be closed to the public, rendering the event even more special.
The location is a few minutes' drive from the highway exit in Forlì, in a wildlife area where an ancient fifteenth-century monastery can be found. The monastery has been completely restored and its large rooms and cloister will host the tournament ceremony. The big Campo di Marte is where the men-at-arms and the servants will fight.
To cover the event's expenses, a subscription fee is required.
The organizers will review each request and reserve the right to accept those which satisfy the requested standards.
Please make sure any handmade objects (i.e. armour, clothes or equipment) both for personal or shared use, can be verified with documentation (pictures, texts, historical artifacts), in compliance with the period considered.
