Tridentine triumph

In the halls and gardens of the Castle, the most important public, political and festive events have taken place over the centuries. Based on this historical premise, the 'Tridentine triumph' will be staged: an event that will fill the castle gardens in the afternoon, recreating the spirit of a Renaissance festival.

Allegorical and scenic elements, light games, music and dance, jugglers and court jesters will enliven the whole afternoon.

The stars of the 'Festa' will be historical re-enactors, artists, dancers, musicians and amateur actors, all dressed in Renaissance costumes, who will have as their specific literary reference the reconstruction of a feast held in 1547 at the court of Cardinal Cristoforo Madruzzo to celebrate the victory of Emperor Charles V over the Lutherans and described in a contemporary poem by Leonardo Colombino.

For the occasion, a spectacular procession of characters representing the figures of the Tarot and interpreted by Trentino noblewomen was also staged at the Buonconsiglio Castle.

Allegorical and scenic elements, dances, narrations and Renaissance music, the precious costumes of the Major Arcana made by Chiara Defant, will be the subject of the historical reconstruction, constituting an uninterrupted flow of events for the entire afternoon.

It will be an opportunity to discover the decorative themes in the outdoor spaces, almost all of which were made by Fogolino, indicating Cardinal Clesio's desire to entrust the gardens with a playful character, where the gravitas of decorations of a political, historical or moralizing nature of the rooms on the upper floors was toned down, in favor of the amoenitas of villa decorations.
