A real ‘reconciliation’ between the two cities after over 600 years since the death of the leader who was stopped by the people of L’Aquila at the gates of the city in May 1423: the protagonist of the initiative was the municipal administration of L’Aquila. On the occasion of the ninth edition of ‘Perugia 1416’, one of the major medieval-Renaissance historical re-enactments, which recalls, among other things, the entry into the Umbrian city by Braccio da Montone.
“A delegation from our Municipality – explained the mayor Pierluigi Biondi and the councilor Manuela Tursini, who represented the mayor himself on the occasion of the demonstration in Perugia – shared the participation in an event of this type in the city that belonged to Braccio Fortebracci , known as Braccio da Montone. Yesterday’s initiative represents a milestone in the relations between our two cities, a symbol of lived history and a shared vision for the future ‘ and to the Municipality of Perugia for the invitation to our Municipality. Similar gratitude – they concluded – also goes to the Compagnia Rosso d’Aquila, because without its commitment this historic moment would not have been possible”.
