Marostica, a pretty medieval village, is famous for its unique game of #chess with living chess pieces, carried out every 2 yrs (in the even-numbered yrs).
Inspired by a story set in 1454, the historical re-enactment was suggested in 1923 by 2 students.

The city of MAROSTICA is famous worldwide for the human #chess game it carries out every 2 years with living chess pieces, in the city public square! 🏰 The tradition originated in 1454 when two local gentlemen challenged each other for a noblewoman👸. #scacchi #шахматы #ITALY

From gastronomic archaeology to 'edible archaeology'? While the scientific advances in detecting ingredients used by ancient civilizations are real, it remains a question whether the use made of them are just a marketing stunt or real gastronomic archaeology?

Next time you're in #Italy why not skip the industrial beer brands produced by big corporations and try one of these local artisan beers instead.
They are not only healthier and tastier, but they also tell a story...
