Mercato delle Gaite

The Gaite Market draws inspiration from the ancient division of Bevagna into four neighborhoods, called Gaite, which formed the basis of the city’s administrative organization in the Middle Ages.
The aim of the event is to reconstruct, with the greatest historical relevance and in great detail, the daily life of Bevagna’s inhabitants between 1250 and 1350. To this end, since 1983, a group of scholars has carefully examined the sixteenth-century Statute of the Municipality of Bevagna, from which they draw the information necessary for the historical reconstruction of its political, administrative, economic, and social life.
