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.

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!

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

I'm not gonna lie, that medieval fistfight that broke out at 5:07 made me laugh a bit 😂🤣

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.

Bella Arezzo, la città diel Vasari, del Petrarca, morto nella mia regione, in Veneto ad Arqua Poi diventato Petrarca.

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

Games are fun and this doesn’t look fun
