Interesting Facts
The Festa degli Statuti was started in 1996 as part of the celebrations to mark the 1000th year since the founding of the Castle of Fossato, around which the town subsequently developed. The idea of the Festa is to provide visitors and locals alike with a taste of what life was like here during the Middle Ages, with every dressed in period costume and a number of special figures from Medieval life going about their daily chores, from the charcoal burner to the monks, the notary and other craftsmen of the time. A large bonfire or <i>Focaraccio</i> is lit in the main square and a marked installed outside the city walls.
