Giostra del Saracino: 119th Joust of Saracen in Arezzo
On June 19th, 2010 the 119th Joust of Saracen (Giostra del Saracino), (first of two annual tournaments, the second one in Sptember) will take place in Arezzo. The joust it's an ancient knights' tournament which has its roots in the Middle Ages.
The colourful procession, involving more than three hundred participants, winds through the streets of the city, accompanied by musicians and Arezzo's famous "Sbandieratori" standard wavers, before going into Piazza Grande, one of the most characteristic squares in Italy where the tournament will take place.
The tournament is enlivened by continual turns of events, determined by the skill and by the luck of eight jousters, two from each quarter. The quarter whose horsemen get the highest score on the shield of the Saracen wins the Golden Lance, the prized trophy made each year by an Aretine craftsman.
