Each year, the enchanting village of Torri del Benaco prepares for a journey through time, celebrating its Feast of San Filippo with a complete immersion in a medieval atmosphere. From May 23rd to 25th, 2026, the majestic Scaligero Castle will become the perfect backdrop for three days of festivities, where history and spectacle merge into a captivating experience.

Imagine yourself amidst rolling drums, sword duels, and figures in period attire, as a tented camp recreates a setting worthy of a film. The ancient walls will echo with stories and laughter, thanks to itinerant theatre groups of “hucksters and charlatans” who will guide visitors into a distant past, full of wonder and tradition.
