August 27, 2025 – Medieval Night in Monterosso
A journey through time, history, and tradition
On August 27, 2025, during the Medieval Night of Monterosso al Mare, the oldest village of the Cinque Terre will turn into a unique historical stage. This event is deeply rooted in the town’s history and commemorates a crucial moment: the Anno Domini 1254, when Monterosso shifted from the Maritime Republic of Pisa to that of Genoa. It was a change of power that profoundly shaped the identity of the village, marked by wars, alliances, and diplomacy that left a lasting legacy.
A living memory that returns every summer
What remains today of that era of towers, sentinels, and merchants? In Monterosso, medieval heritage is not just a memory but a living tradition. Every summer, the streets of the town come alive with the Medieval Night of Monterosso, a festival blending history, performance, and gastronomy. The squares are filled with colors, sounds, and scents, transforming the village into a true medieval stage.
Visitors can enjoy costumed parades, falconry shows, ancient dances, and banquets that bring the past back to life. Local artisans recreate the atmosphere of medieval workshops and crafts, while restaurants and taverns serve traditional bread, anchovies, and Ligurian wines.
