How interesting - I did not know living history was snubbed in Italy.
Would you elaborate on any reasons you know?
I know it exists - I met someone who does Roman Empire reenactment
there. Also there is the Carnival in Venice - don't a lot of people
dress in traditional costume for that, even though it's not "living
history"? And I understand there is a festival in Florence where
participants wear late medieval dress. Maybe the history is already
represented well enough?
