Eight knights in armour challenge each other for glory, the hand of a fair damsel or a rich booty! Different colours an heraldry, elegant knights and felon ones, masters of the sword and rugged veterans of battle, introduced an presented by a herald, who with  few words will define the character of the contenders. The realistic styles and weight of the armours, the realistic blows exchanged by the fighters, reconstruct the atmosphere of a time long gone, a time of courtesy and minstrels, but also of battles and bloodshed! Sword, axe, mace, shield and dagger: everything is used by the contenders to prevail, as the cheering of the crowd urges their champions on! The Compagnia di Chiaravalle’s knightly tournament is all this and much more!!
