This group was formed in 2002 in the Republic of
San Marino. The original name was I Fanciulli di
Olnano meaning the young children of Olnano, as
the aim of the group was to explain history visually
to children. Since then the group has developed
into a historical re-enactment group with adults
and children, including various thematic sections
within its ranks specializing in Dance, Singing,
Embroidery, Medieval kitchen and other artisan
skills. Detailed armour of some of the members
of the group highlights the military aspects of
Medieval times.
Anakron Living
History
This group of enthusiasts dedicate
their time to the re-enactment of the
Medieval way of life by authentically
emulating the daily aspects of the period
such as socialising, combat practice and
playing of Medieval instruments. The
Medieval Tavern was the main centre
of recreational, entertainment, gambling
and where hearty home cooked meal
was always to be found.
Fabio Zaganelli
The show is called “Lost in the Middle
Ages”. Here Fabio acts as Fabius the Court
Jester and beloved fool of the people. A
playful saltimbanco and histrionic character,
he creates fun and involves onlookers of
all ages, Fabio never fails to amaze his
audiences with high level circus skills and
comedy acts, improvised dialogue plays and
rhymes, poetry and rigmaroles. Fabio is an
able juggler, acrobat, fakir and the way he
plays with fire makes him a real showman.

Formed by dedicated falconers in 2008, the club
was named after one of the most powerful Holy
Roman Emperors, Frederick II. His book De Arte
Venandi Cum Avibus meaning the art of hunting
by birds is still considered by many falconers as
the main point of reference. The club’s aim is
to re-introduce the art of falconry in Malta to
generate public interest and participation in this
ancient art.

Medieval Mdina
The medieval city of Mdina still offers a glimpse of its past history. The city offers its visitors a chance to walk the narrow streets, winding around
the various city palaces of the ancient noble families, the small churches, and the medieval architecture. It is the city of the Cathedral, the imposing
17th century building, erected to the designs of the Maltese architect Lorenzo Gafa`and other baroque buildings that were erected after the
devastating earthquake of 1693. The walls of the city have witnessed sieges from the Arabs against the Byzantines, the Normans against the Arabs,
the piratical attacks, the sieges of 1429 and 1551, and the attacks by the Maltese against the French in 1798. The streets and palaces have welcomed
various visitors – the countryside people visiting the city for their administrative needs; the clergy to assist at the cathedral; monarchy who were
also welcomed within the walls of the palaces; the Knights who controlled Malta for 268 years; the Grand Masters with all their pageantry and
tourists who visit Mdina and are in awe of the unique atmosphere that is Mdina. The city offers an architectural feast, as there are still standing
humble buildings tucked into the small and narrow streets, the medieval buildings, some of which still retaining the highly interesting bi-floral
windows and the decorative elements on the facades, and the churches with their baroque architecture. Mdina, the noble city, still attracts visitors
to its myriad of attractions.
