In the heart of the Veneto region lies a town with a truly unique charm: Marostica, known as the city of chess. Every two years, its main square is transformed into a spectacular stage for the famous Living Chess Game, an event that is far more than a simple performance, it is a blend of history, tradition, theatre, and strategy.
On a giant chessboard laid out across the square, people in period costumes move as chess pieces, bringing to life a reenactment that involves the entire community. It is an event that combines meticulous staging with a medieval atmosphere, turning the historic centre into a timeless immersive experience.
