The Project

The Project

Perugia 1416 is based on the involvement of the five districts (Rioni) of the city towards social aggregation, cultural and economic promotion, urban re-development. Perugia 1416 moves precisely from the desire to rediscover, symbolically, a fruitful period of our history, to arouse curiosity, knowledge and sharing: the pleasure of being involved together in a project that starts from the bottom and in a transversal way unites the center and the peripherie. An operation that intends to continuously and progressively interest the population and operators at the most different levels throughout the year, and is also prepared through cycles of conferences around the character Braccio Fortebracci, aimed at exploring the historical-artistic context, uses and customs in the Perugian territory at the beginning of the 15th century to shed light on this relatively little studied period of Perugian history.
Everything culminates in the moment of greatest evidence, in the popular festival in June.
