Ars venandi

Hunting was one of the favourite activities of the guests who attended the summer residence of the Prince Bishops. Thus, hunting will play the main role for two days, in which visitors at the castle will enjoy charming performances of falconry and training of flying animals. Such events will also help the audience learn about the birds of prey in our area, which unfortunately are at risk of extinction because of the continuing threat of man and of the environment.

In a tent, actor-hunters will prepare their tools and in the evening, around the fire, you will listen to them telling  stories about the art of hunting, accompanied by the music and by the smells from the kitchens.

Castel Stenico, just like the other three castles, will also offer a special area with games and activities for children.
