Lumina in Castro is a historical commemoration event that takes place in Lauro every year during the last week of August.

Organised by the Pro Lauro cultural association, the event aims to give visitors to the Lancellotti Castle as realistic a glimpse as possible of a specific historical period. For these performances, there is a careful study of sources and traditions, as well as meticulous care in the choice of costumes and dialogues. Each year, a different period is selected to be staged: in 2016, for example, the story of the reconstruction of the Castle by Prince Filippo Massimo Lancellotti was staged, while in 2017 the central theme of the event was the "Amor Cortese" (Courteous Love)

Lumina in Castro is divided into two distinct parts, which are, however, consistent with the designated theme: there is an initial travelling performance in the second courtyard of the Lancellotti Castle, to introduce visitors to the private areas of the manor, followed by a part of real shows that entertain visitors in the first courtyard of the same Castle, showing a feast as it was in the specific period staged. During the days of Lumina in Castro, visitors are also entertained by themed food stands, with typical local dishes from that time, as well as exhibition and craft routes, enhanced by objects and art exhibitions always in line with the chosen historical period.

Lumina in Castro is the main event of the summer programme not only in the Vallo di Lauro area but also in the whole of Irpinia, allowing the spectator to immerse himself in the ancient and splendid setting of the Lancellotti Castle.
