»» The ‘Giostra del Saracino’ in Arezzo
The Tuscan city of Arezzo will host its annual medieval tournament, “The Giostra del Saracino“, on Sepember 2.
The “Jousting of the Saracens” (Giostra del Saracino) is a jousting tournament where gallant knights on battle horses score points on a shield held by a rotating puppet called the Saracen.
Flag-bearers, and parades of people dressed up in medieval costume, invade the streets of Arezzo also in the week previous to the jousting. For detail, visit the Giostra website.
