The Porta del Foro neighborhood will open the challenge at Buratto on June 22nd at night. A position that has never created problems for the new crimson yellow coach Enrico Vedovini, not even as a jouster. Secondly, to challenge the Buratto will be Porta Crucifera, who joins the tried and tested Lorenzo Vanneschi in this Giostra with Gabriele Innocenti making his debut in the red and green colours. In third position Santo Spirito with Elia Cicerchia and Gianmaria Scortecci who will try to make the most of it to return to being the champions of the competition. Closing the Giostra is the Porta Sant’Andrea district which, with a veteran of the competition like Martino Gianni, could benefit from this position. There was a huge crowd in Piazza del Comune, despite the Italy match, and there was no shortage of protest banners addressed to the Giostra authorities and the opposing neighbourhoods. The ceremony ended with the entrance of the participants into the Cathedral and the deposition of the golden lance dedicated to Giorgio Vasari which will remain here until the day of the Joust.
