On Sunday 31 May in the village of Grazzano Visconti, the Historical Parade is re-enacted

The event recalls a procession that was held in the fourteenth century. At that time, Count Giovanni Anguissola hosted Valentina, who was Mrs. D’Asti, and was passing through the area on her way to France, where she was to meet her future husband, the Duke of Orléans.

The event takes place in this village in the Nure Valley that re-proposes the charm of the Middle Ages through the eyes and the project of Giuseppe Visconti di Modrone. A Milanese nobleman who had inherited the castle at the beginning of the twentieth century. Thanks to the contribution of the architect Alfredo Campanini, the village and the castle took on the shape that can still be read today. A place that re-proposes the idea of the self-sufficient medieval village, equipped with all the services with the Institution at the center, that is, the school focused on teaching handicrafts.
The village also reveals the passion for the theatrical arts of its inventor, who first wanted to stage this procession.

During the re-enactment in each square there is a different show: jugglers, musicians, jesters, magic, archers, medieval games, soldiers’ camps, the tournament of arms.
