Volpiano and De Bello Canepiciano

In a town that has 15,000 inhabitants, at the foot of the Western Alps, gateway to the historical-geographical region called Canavese, or as the Latins used to say Canapicium, we are at the medieval festival 'De Bello Canepiciano' in Volpiano. The medieval historical re-enactment projects the historic center of Volpino in 1339, transporting all visitors back in time. The streets are set up in medieval style where fields of arms, stables, play areas, medieval crafts and entertainment are installed to recall the historic capture of the castle of Volpiano which took place by Pietro da Settimo, lord of the Marquis of Monferrato, Giovanni II. , precisely in 1339. The historical re-enactment includes events that aim to enhance the territory and the archaeological heritage. Furthermore, with the medieval Volpiano project, it will be possible to carry out trekking routes in the Vauda hill and guided tours through the remains of the wall structures dating back to the fourteenth century. A party also suitable for children who can go for a walk around the city on horseback.
