Mercato delle Gaite

in the last ten days of June, from the penultimate Thursday to the last Sunday, Associazione Mercato delle Gaite organizes the manifestation that draws inspiration from the original division into four Gaite (or quarters) of Bevagna in the Middle Ages. Their name derives from the ancient churches: San Giorgio, San Giovanni, Santa Maria and San Pietro. It is the most important manifestation of tourism in the area and consists in re-proposing a cross-section of medieval life that begins with the investiture of the Chief magistrate and ends with the ancient crafts and the market of the products of the time. The country, very involved, recovers its traditions, its roots with a historical fidelity that makes valuable the reconstruction of the environments, of the streets, of moments of daily life, of economic-craft activities, such as the working of ropes, wrought iron, wicker, “bambagina” fine paper, silk and glass. Thanks to the passion and harmony of the event, Mercato delle Gaite is today one of the most appealing historical events in Umbria.
