Jousting, one Italian village's medieval rite

In the picturesque walled city of Arezzo, a medieval ritual is conducted twice each year in which locals don the colors and armor of knights to engage in a jousting competition. Correspondent Seth Doane takes in the pageantry of the Giostra del Saracino, where longstanding family rivalries can play out on horseback.

    As a Dressage trainer of 30 years I must admit Enrico displays excellent riding skills!

    I just love the passions of Italian people! Now if I could just find one for me, because I now understand only another Italian will wave their hands in my face while yelling, and understand it's just a natural way of communicating! We never do anything half-heartedly- ha ha harboring a centuries old grudge... And the food!!! Fond memories in that regard too!

    Being Arezzo a "comune" (free city) the rider that trained in middle age too could very well be a jeweler, a lawyer or an apothecary.

    @@SlayerofFiction In Italian he would have been a "cavaliere", but a cavaliere was simply someone that was whealty enough to own a warhorse and arm himself accordingly. A cavalryman, not a knight. IE Dante Alighieri's father was a money-changer, and Dante was a cavalryman at the battle of Campaldino.

    So they don’t joust another person? They just poke a target? Methinks this modern day jousting is nothing like true Medieval jousting.
