Joust of the Saracen
Arezzo - Arezzo, 02 September 2012
This is an ancient and spectacular game on horseback, with an impressive
historical procession, traditional display by flagmen, drums and horns. Four teams of two
jousters (knights) each compete by charging the
Buratto, an armoured effigy which symbolises the ancient
Saracen enemy. The district, or
Porta, with the highest score wins.
