FRINGE EVENT – SACUIDIC HISTORICAL REVIVAL
The Historical Festival will bring to light the “ancient” way of life of 13th century Forni di Sopra residents, when the village was ruled by the Nonta Germans.
The highlight of the festival will be the re-evocation of a turning point in the village history: the siege and victory of the Savorgnan Family, and the burning down of the old manor.
