Roccarainola is about to dive into a vortex of medieval chaos with the tenth edition of the Medieval Festival “La damigella del re”, an event that promises to transform the quiet village into a battlefield of swords and historical intrigue. Thursday, June 5, 2025, at 19:30 p.m., the press conference at the Town Hall will light the fires of this celebration, attracting the curious and enthusiasts ready to relive eras of glory and slightly subversive legends.
A leap into the past between history and legend
Roccarainola Castle will become the main stage for a boldly retrograde theme: “Life in Roccarainola Castle, between history and legend”. For days on end, the village will transform into a veritable historical madhouse, catapulting visitors straight to the 15th century with reenactments inspired by the legendary visit of Alfonso V of Aragon, hosted by the noble d’Alagno family during its heyday. Prepare for scenes that could make your beach holiday seem deadly boring.
Ten years of irreverent fun
This medieval festival has become an unmissable ritual for locals and tourists looking for raw and authentic emotions, with ten editions under its belt that make it a booster for tourism and local culture. Expect official presences from everywhere – authorities, press and organizations – ready to celebrate this mix of history and spectacle that doesn’t care about political correctness.

A program that promises sparks
The program of the 2025 edition will be revealed during the conference, with an explosive lineup of themed shows, historical groups in action, medieval dances, costume parades and workshops for all ages. It is the perfect opportunity to immerse yourself in history in a direct and slightly reckless way, where fun is guaranteed without filters. **“We are proud to have reached the tenth edition – declared the Mayor of Roccarainola –. This festival is much more than a re-enactment: it is a moment of shared identity and a concrete opportunity to support the local economy. A special thanks goes to the Campania Region and the Metropolitan City of Naples for their constant support.”**
