Cortona The History Of Cortona Starts When The Etruscan Erect The Town Walls, Claiming It As The Capital Of The Lucumonia Name Given To Every One Of The Twelve States. Allied Of Rome At The End Of The Iv Century And Governed By Florence, In 1411 The City Is Radically Reorganized And Its Urban Disposition Is Changed To Give Place To A Perfect Alliance Of Political And Religious Poles Around Every Square. Many Notable Italian Artists Have Passed Through The Town Walls Leaving An Important Heritage Of Culture And Art. Luca Signorelli Between The 400S And 500S, In The 600S The Painter And Architect Piero Da Cortona Are Just A Few Examples. CraftsmanshipS Art Is Today The Most Valuable Tradition Present In The Historical Center Of Town, The Most Famous Being Restoration, But Also The Antiques Trade. Sansepolcro Main Productive And Commercial Centre Of The Valtiberina, San Sepolcro Appears Like A Superb Vast Amphitheatre At The Bottom Of The Last Trace Of The Tuscan Apennine. ItS People Are Fierce To Remember This As The City Of Piero Piero Della Francesca The Great Renaissance Master. A Medieval Tradition Tells That This Town Was Created Around A Sacellum Built In The 934 To Protect The Relics Brought From The Santo Sepolcro The Holly Sepulchre. City Of Art Sansepolcro Portrays The Typical Characteristics Of The Roman Construction, The Rectangular Shape In Which It Was Built And The Orthogonal Plain Geometry Of The Field, But The Very Distinctive CityS Walls Are From The Fifteenth Century. Every Year Since 1951, On The Second Sunday Of September, It Takes Place In San Sepolcro The Palio Della Balestra In The Suggestive Scenery Of Piazza Torre Di Berta, Embraced Between Renaissance Palaces, The Crossbowmen Of Sansepolcro And The Gubbio Compete For The Banner. In Accordance With Ancient Traditions The Herald Reads, In The Morning, The Challenge Announcement To The Eugubini Rivals. In The Afternoon, After The Benediction Of The Arms, The Crossbowmen Of Both Towns Enter The Square, Announced By The Roll Of The Drums And The Sound Of The Clarions, While The Flag Wavers Throw The Flags In The Air, Representing The Colors Of Each One Of The Quarters. The Fencers Of Each Of The Two Towns Alter Themselves For Their Shooting Turn, Dressed With The Costumes Of Those Times, That Piero Della Francesca So Truly Testified In His Paintings. In This Atmosphere Of Past Times While, In The Silence, We Can Hear The Arrow Running Into The Cornels, The Square Rejoices With The Magic Of The Ancient Tournaments. The Saracino Tournament The Priors Had Already Mentioned This Traditional Tournament Back In 1535, In The Oldest Document Known To History Which Refers To La Giostra Del Saracino.

After The Colorful Historic Procession Of 311 Participants And 31 Horses, Emotions Start To Grow With The Episcopal Benediction Of The Armati At The Stairs Of The Duomo. The Next Phases In The Piazza Grande Are Stressed By A True Plot Droned In 1961 By The Scene Director Fulvio Tului. Finally The Tournament Gets Started With An Amazing Scene Which Truly Remakes The Ones From Renaissance Times Where Cavaliers, The Giostratori Against The Saracino Ride Against Each Other, This Last One Being Armed With A Mazzafrusto Ancient Mace With Several Whips And Balls Of Steel At The Ends.
