Sansepolcro |
Palio Della Balestra - It has been a tradition since the Middle Ages that every year in May the crossbowmen from Sansepolcro go to Gubbio to compete in honour of Saint Ubaldo, and on the second Sunday of September the crossbowmen from Gubbio return their visit and compete in honour of Saint Egidio. The crossbowmen from Sansepolcro and participants to the procession wear Renaissance costumes reproducing those of the frescoes by Piero della Francesca. The target of the crossbow shooting is called “corniolo” and is located at a distance of 36 meters from the crossbow. |
