Location
Sarteano is an ancient village dating back to Etruscan times. In fact the village is famous for its numerous Etruscan tombs and the Etruscan museum, which are currently open to visitors. A very important event is the Civitas Infernalis, where for a week the village descends into medieval times thanks to themed events and concerts. However, the most famous event followed by all the citizens of the village and neighbouring towns is the Saracen Joust at mid-August, a medieval event that challenges five ancient contrade (districts) to a race with horses, a pole and a ring. The joust is much more, young people and adults together parading, jousting and flag-waving in medieval clothes, an experience to be lived.
