Marostica, where a hillside castle overlooks the town and a checkerboard pavement. The story of the chess game began in 1454. Two noblemen named Vieri and Rinaldo fell in love with Lionora, the beautiful daughter of the Lord of Marostica. They challenged each other to a duel but the Lord, wanting to avoid unnecessary bloodshed decided that the two rivals should compete in a chess game instead – Lionora would be the winner’s prize, and the loser would marry her sister. The Lord also decided that the challenge should be honored by an exhibition of armed men, foot soldiers and knights, with fireworks, dances and sounds. The ceremony contains more than 500 people in 15th century costumes, scores of noblemen, ladies, falconers, pageboys, maidens, archers and many others. The spectacular performance is only performed every even year for three days in September.
