The Palio della Vittoria in Anghiari is not a reenactment, but one of the oldest stakes of Tuscany, the course to celebrate the victory of the Florentine troops on Milan and finally establish the border to the east of the Grand Duchy of Tuscany. The Battle of Anghiari was a major historical event for the Grand Duchy of Tuscany, so that the Medici wanted to celebrate it even with a prize similar course on the same day in Florence and commissioned to Leonardo da Vinci’s fresco titled “The Battle of Anghiari”. The famous fresco was painted in Palazzo Vecchio in the Salone dei Cinquecento in Florence and today has become a true chimera for art lovers around the world.
