The “Confraternita del Leone” is a cultural, non-profit making, apolitical sport Association in Brescia, Italy. Its members are fond of medieval history and devote themselves to its study.

As members of the Association we want to rivive ways an costums as well as the warfare of the peoples that lived in our country in the Middle Ages through theorical knowledge and manual exercises with ancient sword.
In order to make a thorough investigation and avoid every possible mistake, our efforts to reconstruct the past concentrate mainlyon the period between 1150 and 1240, when our town, Brescia, was a city-state.
We:
Organize realistic and accurate reconsrtuctions of historical events.
Organize groups studing experimental archaeology.
Pratice and pread the knowledge of ancient swordplay and archery.
Study and teach the history of our peoples through lectures.
Build 350 square metre military medieval camps with artisan activities (blacksmith, joiner, etc.)
Revive historical sets and happenings during cultural events.
Take part in medieval festivals and tournaments.
Our work enables us to give a strong aura of reality to our fights even if duels are completely safe.
