At the end of June, the Borgo di Bevagna relives the charm of the Middle Ages: each gaita has reinterpreted the trades inspired by the economic reality of the village in medieval times and from this reading has been able to create a reproduction of production techniques and tools.
During our guided tour, you can learn about the historical and cultural value of the Market, thanks to the guides who will offer a personalized tour itinerary to immerse you in the atmosphere of the Gaite, guiding you through the Circuit of the 4 Medieval Crafts: Paper Mill, Ceramics, Painter and Silk Factory.
Along with the Market, a number of medieval crafts workshops are open where you can learn about ancient crafting and production techniques.
Here you can find textiles, leather or wicker items, ropes, paper, wrought iron, copper, handmade candles and even cheese, fish, freshly baked bread and flatbreads.
Whether you come from the village of Bevagna or a neighboring Borgo, the Mercato delle Gaite tells the story and makes known the value and characteristics of the Umbrian Middle Ages-the atmosphere will make your days in Bevagna memorable moments of your trip to Italy.
