About this good practice
Resources needed
Equipment for soldiers, people and rooms in the castle with historical rigor.
Between 60 and 80 people participate to perform the reenactment for free during a weekend from Friday afternoon to Sunday morning. 3 scenes and a battle with a total duration of 5 hours are performed by actors.
Evidence of success
It is extremely successful since each weekend, once a year, the castle receives about 4,000 visitors. Population of Peracense does not reach one hundred.
The activity is fostered by a non-profit association called Fidelis Regi in which between 60 and 80 people participate,throughout the weekend the reenactment group makes life in the castle, so visitors can see them. The Peracense City Council gives them compensation of €2,000 for food and travel expenses, but their reenactment activity is free
Potential for learning or transfer
It is a replicable practice, taking into account the characteristics of each of the locations and the history of the fortification in question. In the case of Peracense, the 14th century is recreated, but the content can be modulated, depending on the historical events that the fortification in question has passed through.
