The Tournament of Quintana in Foligno from 28th of May to 12th June - YOUR ITALY
It is considered by tradition the 'centre of the world'. Foligno, in the heart of green Umbria and Italy, is famous worldwide for the Quintana, the jousting tournament which in June and September renews the challenge
among the knights of its ten wards.
An exciting challenge where each knight, riding his own galloping horse, has to catch a series of rings (which gradually become smaller and smaller) hanging from a wooden statue called "Quintana".
It is a great feast of people, colours and passions, but also an accurate historical, scenic, iconographic and gastronomic reconstruction of the Italian Baroque.
