THE LUDI DI SAN BARTOLOMEO RETURN IN 2026!

Prepare to travel back in time: from August 21 to 24, 2026, Formigine completely changes its look and dons its medieval attire for the 22nd edition of the Ludi di San Bartolomeo!

For four days, the historic center and the majestic Castello Calcagnini will become the setting for a true celebration from another era. Among the alleys, you might come across nobles out for a stroll, knights in armor, jugglers, fire-breathers, and musicians ready to make you dance. Can you feel the excitement of the big occasion? It is for the challenge between the town's six districts, ready to battle to the last arrow shot to win the coveted Sword!

The finale? Pure goosebumps. On the evening of Monday, August 24, for the feast of the Patron Saint, look up to the sky for the legendary "Burning of the Castle": a spectacle of lights, music, and fireworks that will leave you literally open-mouthed.
