The Camerlengo of the municipal group challenges the six Sestieri<\/h4>\n

Historical reenactment also thrives on moments and times that trace the rituals of ancient city celebrations. According to the statutes of the time before the actual jousting took place the reading of the notice of challenge. This is the act that officially invites the Sestieri to challenge each other. Written in the vernacular, the notice of challenge explains the modalities of the Joust. It is read by the Camerlengo of the municipal group who for the occasion walks the ancient streets of the center to alert the citizenry to attend the challenge of the knights at the Campo dei Giochi. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

The Sestieri play tribute to the \"Madonna del Latte\" kept in safe in the church of Sant'Agostino<\/h4>\n

The eve of the July jousting challenge is marked by the solemn religious ceremony in which the blessing of the knights and the drawing of the order of assaults takes place. II July knightly tournament is preceded by the homage to Our Lady of Peace, a ritual that takes place in the churchyard of St. Augustine's Church, where the icon is kept. Legend has it that ancient Ascolan families, at war with each other, were reconciled by hearing the sound of bells coming from the church where the effigy of \u201cOur Lady of Peace\u201d is still kept. <\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

The Sestieri gave a votive candle to Sant\u2019Emidio, Patrone of Ascoli Piceno<\/h4>\n

The August Joust has as its prologue the \u201cBlessing of Candles\u201d ceremony, celebrated in Arringo Square in front of the cathedral. In antiquity, representatives of the arts and guilds donated a votive candle to the city's bishop to endear themselves to the patron saint Saint Emidio. The municipality of Ascoli contributed the \u201cbig candle\u201d. During the ceremony, the bishop of Ascoli read a famous passage from the first letter of St Paul the Apostle to the Corinthians. After that, the draw is made for the order of assaults in the following day's joust.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n
