AREZZO, GIOSTRA DEL SARACINO:

AREZZO, GIOSTRA DEL SARACINO

Giostra del Saracino is a race between the 4 districts:

District of Porta del Foro
district of Porta Crucifera
Quartiere di Porta Sant'Andrea neighborhood of
Porta Santo Spirito

It is runs in Piazza Grande on the third Saturday of June at night and the first domenic to September daytime Edition.

The commemoration dates back to 1931. Each rider racing competing in the order established by the extraction of careers, a ritual that takes place in the town square a week before the Joust.

The Knight carrying a lance with which to hit the Board supported by Bardhan, a wooden statue represented the Saracen.

The score is between one and five points; each neighborhood runs twice as long as the play-off, sometimes, a neighborhood not predominates over the others.
