Archery tournament
Every year, early in Spring there is an Archery Tournament in Todi: Todi la Città degli Arcieri. Now you wonder what’s so special about that? It is very special: all archers are in medieval outfit!
It is a serious tournament with archers from all over Italy and all come rigorously dressed in a medieval outfits, to the smallest detail. Throughout the small town, there are several stands where the archers have to shoot at different goals, also moving goals.
Todi, like many towns in Umbria, has been very prosperous during the 13th and 14th centuries and this is still easily recognizable by looking at the buildings and infrastructure. Hence, why it was very special to see these archers all dressed up, they fitted perfectly well in the surrounding decor.
During the tournament, there are several activities being organized: historical flag wavers, medieval dances, special guided tours, and a market with typical local products. The weather was great and the atmosphere very relaxed.
