Four events full of history, anecdotes, curiosities to ignite the jousting spirit in view of the next edition on Saturday 18 June for which, just this morning, the author of the winning sketch on which the dedicated Golden Lance will be created was announced at the Thevenin Institute who will compete for the neighborhoods in Piazza Grande.
In fact, for the creation of the June spear, the municipal administration had asked the winners of past editions of the idea competition for sketches for the handle (which ran until 2016) to send their proposal on a voluntary basis. Marco Stefano Azzoni, Rita Rossella Ciani and Roberto Felici the authors of the sketches presented to the municipal administration, among which the project by Roberto Felici from Arezzo was chosen.
"I imagined a street, via Sassoverde - reads the report - at night, in the dark, illuminated only by a few street lamps, in which the door of the Thevenin Institute opens from which a powerful ray of sunshine comes out, a light that becomes hope for the little ones and a reference for the whole city.
Un beacon of solidarity in the darkness of life. A cone of light in which the figure of a mother with two children stands out as she prepares to enter the light, inside the door of the Institute".
