Pageant of the Flight of Cecco Santi

Last wednesday in July

RIEVOCAZIONE DEL VOLO DI CECCO SANTI

Pageant of the Flight of Cecco Santi

Vinci (Florence)

 

Vinci, hometown of Leonardo, hosts a fair in costume complete with historic parade, jousting and other games.

 

A key moment, the Volo di Cecco Santi, is a re-enactment of the myth of the knight who, condemned for betraying

his city, miraculously flew to a nearby hill instead of falling to his death from the tower – an event that happened to coincide with

a particularly abundant harvest and has therefore been celebrated ever after.
