Today, after almost 20 years of experience, the Group represents Montepulciano and its traditional flag-waving in the main Italian and European historical re-enactments.<\/p>\n

The Group is strongly linked to the \u201cBrav\u00eco delle Botti di Montepulciano\u201d<\/a>, a famous historical re-enactment in which eight \u201ccontrade\u201d (districts) compete for a painted\u00a0cloth, the \u201cBravium\u201d, pushing empty wine barrels weighing about 80 kg along the streets of the historical town centre.<\/p>\n

The Brav\u00eco delle Botti is held in the last week of August and includes several events, during which the group’s flag-wavers and drummers perform in shows in the Renaissance main square (Piazza Grande), staging highly spectacular choreographies to the rhythm of imperial and snare drums.<\/p>\n

In addition to Montepulciano’s magnificent setting, the Group is often invited to perform at historical re-enactments, cultural events and folklore\u00a0exhibitions\u00a0of various kinds, both in Italy and around the world.<\/p>\n

The Group’s repertoire is heterogeneous and suitable for various types of events<\/a>, including private ones (weddings, inaugurations, etc.). In fact, it includes both fast and explosive choreographies and performances, as well as movements and pieces that are the result of careful historical research, framed within the traditional Montepulciano’s flag-waving.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” parallax=”content-moving” parallax_image=”1525″ ct_row_class=”row-bg-gradient-overlay”
