The Porta Santo Spirito district wins the 145th edition of the Giostra del Saracino in Arezzo with two fives from Gianmaria Scortecci and a four from Elia Cicerchia which give Colombina victory number 40 which is worth the solitary head of the Roll of Honor. It is Francesco Rossi who opens the square for Porta del Foro who scores four points. Then it’s Lorenzo Vanneschi’s turn for Porta Crucifera who goes confidently against Buratto, looks for the center and hits him: 5. Porta Santo Spirito sends Gianmaria Scortecci first into the running and the Piazza veteran doesn’t make a mistake: he’s a five too. However, only three points were scored by the green and white Tommaso Marmorini who closed the first series of his career. He leaves again. Davide Parsi goes down to the well, the yellow-crimson player goes decisively towards the Buratto and hits the center of the scoreboard: it is a 5 and Porta del Foro is at 9. Porta Crucifera with Gabriele Innocenti, debuting in the red-green team, scores four points and also brings his neighborhood at level nine. Elia Cicerchia has the opportunity to secure the victory with a 5 but the shot ends up on 4 and Santo Spirito is also at 9 points. Only the breaking of Saverio Montini’s lance could keep Sant’Andrea in the race, but the green and white jouster scores four points and his district is out of the competition. Three-way play-offs. Porta del Foro sends Davide Parsi into the running and the yellow-crimson player breaks his spear in the impact against Buratto: doubling the score, but his score is only a two which brings the Chimera’s score to four. Porta Crucifera chooses Lorenzo Vanneschi for the play-off career, the rossoverde goes fast against Buratto and hits him in the heart, but the career is slow and his five becomes a three for the two penalty points. Colcitrone exits the Giostra. Porta Santo Spirito places the fate of the Golden Lance dedicated to Giorgio Vasari in the hands of Gianmaria Scortecci who immediately equals the score of his first career: a perfect five that gives victory to Santo Spirito and colors Piazza Grande yellow and blue. Fortieth victory for Porta Santo Spirito.
