22nd-23rd August 2010
Sicily is a wonderful island bordered by three seas and is still fairly unknown, even today the echoes of old civilizations are still present here, allowing the island to be steeped in mystery and forgotten treasures.
Perhaps it is for this reason that the celebrations are religious but also traditions are pagan, mixing the old and the new more than anywhere else. The best example is the Medfest, a medieval festival, held in late August just a few kilometres away from Siracusa.
For two days, Buccheri, a small village in the mountains, becomes a medieval village, where everything will make you think that you have returned to the Middle Ages.
Artists come in from the all over the world to gather in this small town that becomes packed with curious crowds wanting to see the shows. Buccheri shows then its ability and skills when it comes to dancing, singing, acting and playing music.
The objective is to show the ancient customs and lifestyle of the ancestors of this region, with special performances by stilt walkers, jugglers, musicians, fire-eaters and magicians who will fascinate the visitors with a truly magical atmosphere.
With such an event taking place in Sicily, quality food tasting is obviously a must! Stroll around the medieval market and try all sorts of cheeses, jams, honey, wine and cakes, all made with natural ingredients, according to original recipes and completely organic. Many delicacies and specialities of the area are wrapped up and ready to take home, or if you resist, they can become a very special gift.
