La Festa dei Barbari di Castel Rigone, giusta alla sua 36esima edizione, è stata per moltissimi anni la sola rievocazione storica in costume gotico in Italia. Dalla ricostruzione dei mestieri dell’epoca alla proposta di un menù “barbaro”, dal 31 Luglio al 4 Agosto 2019 vivi anche tu a quest’evento unico! 

Le origini di questa festa risalgono alla nascita stessa del borgo di Castel Rigone, fondato di dice dal barbaro Riggo durante le invasioni del 543 d.c. Fortificato nel 1297, oggi il borgo conserva intatto tutto il suo fascino medievale, esaltato dalla magnifica posizione sul colle più alto che sovrasta il lago Trasimeno. Dalla sua altezza si possono infatti ammirare panorami spettacolari sul lago e sulle vallate circostanti.
