The Medieval Archaeological Theme Park "Living in the Middle Ages" will open to the public in early October 2026 at the former sugar refinery tanks, in via Locatello in San Giovanni in Persiceto. The park faithfully reconstructs a fortified medieval village (castrum) from the 10th-11th century, based on archaeological excavations of the nearby Crocetta area. Visitors can explore huts furnished with replicas of period furnishings and tools, and participate in experimental archaeology workshops and educational activities. The exhibition is curated by the agency Agen.Ter, which has been involved in excavation campaigns since 1994, ensuring scientific rigor and reconstructive accuracy.
