The games represented by F.I.G.S., the only Italian Association in its genre-embody the best and oldest folk traditions of Italy, and are in fact extraordinary and unique events in themselves.

They consist in sports and competitive performances at such levels as to involve hard-trained partecipants, no less than for the practice of modern better-known disciplines.

But is through the reconstruction of the historical ambience that the great mass of people of all social classes takes part to each game.
In the background offered by the splendid old town centres throughout Italy, hundreds and sometimes thousands of citizens dressed in Medieval and Renaissance clothes play their part in the creation of unique settings. These events are of inestimable value: one can say they are real cultural mines to be exploited and developed as far as possible.
The Historical Games Italian Association wants, with these pages on Internet, to spread out the knowledge all over the world, the whole programs of the italian historical games, giving to the public the detailed information about the events.
