adenghe sinks back into the
Middle Ages. It’s been going
back in time every summer
for the past 15 years with the
well-oiled «Medieval Padenghe»
event, which will take place on the
third weekend of August, as is
tradition. On Saturday 22 and
Sunday 23, the town’s historic
centre and streets will transform
into a lively and noisy medieval
market with the addition of street
artists, jugglers, stilt walkers, fortune
tellers, fakirs, parades in vintage
costumes, musicians, falconers, and
flag wavers.
This celebratory illusion of being in
the past will last for two days and
cars won’t be allowed. Padenghe
districts will have food stands up for
you to indulge your palate during
the festivities, starting at 7:30pm on
both days of the event.
Do not miss out on the grand finale
at 10:30pm, with the usual fireworks
simulating a fire at the castle.
Another thrilling event will take
place in Padenghe’s old manor on
Sunday 9 August at 9pm: «Waiting
for the shooting stars», observing
this celestial phenomenon along
with the Brescia Friends of
Astronomy Club in the magical
atmosphere of the castle lit up with
a thousand candles for the occasion.
«Alan Farrington No Smoking
Quartet» will provide sophisticated
musical entertainment.
