On 24 July, the legend comes to life once more in Bellaria Igea Marina.

Through a historical re-enactment meticulously crafted down to the smallest detail, featuring period costumes and breathtaking scenery, the audience will be transported back to a past marked by sightings and coastal defences. It is an event that seems to stand still, offering an unforgettable experience that blends culture and legend.

The event begins at 9.00 pm at the Porto Canale, on the Bellaria side, with the arrival of historic boats and a parade in period costume.

The procession will wind its way along the Cristoforo Colombo seafront promenade and through the streets of the town centre until it reaches Piazza Don Minzoni, where, at 11.00 pm, the Saracen Festival will take place, featuring performances by acrobats, members of re-enactment groups and belly dancers.
