Every year, the city of Fermo chooses to tell its story through fabric as well. During the Cavalcata dell’Assunta, history takes visible form through clothing. Before the drums, before the clarions, before the procession winds through the streets, everything begins in the quiet of the contrada tailoring workshops — rooms scented with fabric and time itself. Here, the most authentic face of the Cavalcata comes to life: its medieval costumes, the true visual soul of the celebration.
In Fermo, the Middle Ages are not a distant memory but a heritage layered across centuries, expressed through painting, architecture, and spirituality. It is a medieval legacy that has left deep traces throughout the region, particularly through the work of artists who lived and worked here, such as the Crivelli brothers.
