Corciano hosts FITAST National Historical Archery Championship Final

The championship match highlights “Scoccare la Storia,” a cultural promotion project that brings medieval history, traditions, and public participation to the Italian borgo.

Medieval Reenactments Open the Weekend in Corciano

The journey back to the Middle Ages begins ahead of the tournament on Saturday, Sept. 26, running from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. at the Giardini del Torrione, according to centritalianews.it. Visitors and residents can explore medieval trades, instruments, products, and traditions through specialized displays. Organizers have arranged exhibitions featuring historical working tools, armor, and weapon reconstructions alongside traditional goods like saffron, honey, and hippocras.

Entertainment and Direct Public Involvement

Entertainment acts featuring drummers, flag-wavers, and minstrels will animate the streets alongside interactive displays, per centritalianews.it. The event gives spectators a chance to experience historical archery firsthand rather than simply observing historical exhibits. The initiative emphasizes direct engagement with the past for all attendees.

Collaborating Organizations Behind the Event

According to centritalianews.it, “Scoccare la Storia” is organized through a partnership involving the Pro Loco di Corciano, Apd Corciano, Asd Corciano 99, and F.I.T.A.ST., with support from local archery groups and Perugia1416. The project holds patronage from the Municipality of Perugia and receives financial backing from the Fondazione Perugia alongside SporT al Centro – Trasimeno e Corciano.
