It was mediaeval mayhem and merriment with friends at Coreglia Antelminelli yesterday.

We hadn’t been back to this manifestation for some years, at least two of which had been interrupted by the pandemic. It was good to be here again where falconers, flag-tossers (sbandieratori), witches, fortune tellers, executioners, pilloried victims, lords and ladies lined the path to various inns where we feasted on farro soup, suckling pig and chocolate cake (not too mediaeval that last..).
