If you are planning a stay at our B&B at the end of May, get ready for a magical experience in one of Italy’s most beautiful villages. On Friday, May 29, and Saturday, May 30, 2026, the nearby town of Morano Calabro will come to a standstill to celebrate the Festa della Bandiera (Flag Festival), an event that transforms the entire historic center into an open-air medieval stage.
A Legendary Re-enactment
The festival commemorates a legendary medieval battle and has evolved over the years into one of the most anticipated events for both locals and visitors from across the region. This is not just a simple parade: the village is filled with period scenery, men-at-arms, and flag-wavers who bring the squares to life with their performances. You can admire hundreds of costumed figures who bring back the splendor and atmosphere of a bygone era, making the experience truly immersive.
The Perfect Setting: An “Orange Flag” Village
Morano Calabro is more than just a backdrop for the festival; it is an architectural gem waiting to be explored. The town has been awarded the “Bandiera Arancione” (Orange Flag) by the Touring Club Italiano, a mark of excellence that recognizes the quality of its hospitality and its stunning historical heritage.
While walking through the streets during the festival, you will be enchanted by its medieval structure, featuring a labyrinth of stairs, narrow alleys, and winding streets that climb the hillside. Every corner of the village offers breathtaking views—perfect for photography—especially as the historical processions wind through the center.
