The famous and evocative Chess Game played on the large chessboard in the square in a famous setting from another era. For many years, the living chess game, the reenactment developed in the fifties by Mirko Vucetich, through meticulous historical studies and his brilliant ingenuity, deserved a publication entirely dedicated to the event, which could summarize and disseminate above all sensations and suggestions. Over the years, the game has gained great notoriety, both in Italy and abroad, bringing the name of Marostica to be known and appreciated throughout the world, offering a show rightly considered among the most refined and engaging not only in our country. This book tells all this, transmitting the emotions of the beautiful square.
Marostica (Italian pronunciation: [maˈrɔstika]; Venetian: Maròstega [maˈɾɔsteɡa]), is a town and comune in the province of Vicenza, Veneto, northern Italy. It is mostly famous for its live chess event and for the local cherry variety.
