battaglia

These targoni were decorated with mottoes or a device, as we may see from these now in the Museo; they were evidently even heirlooms in the family which had the honour to see one of its members chosen for the Battaglia. Four comandanti or captains on each side entered the battle itself. Two of these on each side stood on the parapet of the bridge directing their men.
