THE EAGLE – The CAI Sections of L’Aquila and Ascoli Picenowith the patronage of the Municipality of L’Aquila, in collaboration with the Italian Sports Center Committee L’Aquila, the Italian Bicycle Environment Federation and the Abruzzo L’Aquila Athletics company, organize for Saturday 25 May 2024 a day dedicated to the figure of Mutton arm and to the battle, which saw the leader defeated and ended his siege of the city of L’Aquila.
600 years after that pitched battle (2 June 1424) the figure of Braccio da Montone and the siege of the city are still tangible elements, alive and present in the urban fabric and in the collective memory.
In the morning of Saturday 25 May 2024 a cycle excursion to the battle sites is planned; in the afternoon a conference will take place at the CAI headquarters in L’Aquila (via Sassa n. 34), entitled “1423-1424, the siege of L’Aquila and the defeat of Braccio da Montone”.
More information on how to participate in the cycle excursions, times and contacts can be found in the event poster.
