 | | Tolentino was caught at the crossroads of Italian national history: the beginning and end of the french-italian era, between a decline of papal power (Treaty of Tolentino signed on 19 February 1797 between Napoleone Bonaparte and Pope Pio VI 's representative) and the origins of the Italian Resurgence or 'Risorgimento' (Battle of Tolentino). |
 | | The manifestation held once a year since 1996, is at the Castle of the 'Rancia', and the Tolentino town center, on the first Sunday each May;it alternates between battle reenactmens and a display of historical military groups. |
 | | The purpose is to promote a view of culture and tourisme of Tolentino and the surrounding areas; allowing one to re-live the past and know of it, through exacting historical re-enactment, as true as possible, with addition of spectacle. |
