Then the burghers and nobles "Cittadini amatori della Patria," Tronci calls them formed the Campagnia di S. Michele, for it bore on its gonfalon St.
The great entertainment and sport of the Duke of Corland, and the princes thereabouts, is hunting; which is not with dogs as we, but he appoints such a day, and summons all the country-people as to a campagnia; and by several companies gives every one their circuit, and they agree upon a place where the toyle is to be set; and so making fires every company as they go, they drive all the wild beasts, whether bears, wolves, foxes, swine, and stags, and roes, into the toyle; and there the great men have their stands in such and such places, and shoot at what they have a mind to, and that is their hunting.

But Pietro Gambacorti called to the city, which had risen to defend itself and to make reprisals, saying, "I have pardoned them I, whose parents they slew.
