Vince la 149° Giostra del Saracino, il quartiere di Porta Sant'Andrea. Ora a quota 40

A hard-fought, tense Giostra. It's become a rule now: you can't play defense. The Porta Sant'Andrea jousters scored two fives. First Tommaso Marmorini, then Saverio Montini, a clear 10 that gave the white-green district their 40th victory. The dedication to Unoaerre's 100th anniversary. The other districts all remained on 9 points. Worth noting, however, were the strong performances of three debutants. Two from Porta Crucifera, Leonardo Tavanti, who scored a 4, and Matteo Bruni, who instead scored a solid 5. For Porta del Foro, Giulio Vedovini (who turns 18 in September), also debuted with a solid 5, his first of the evening. But it wasn't enough. Porta del Foro's second jouster, Francesco Rossi, scored a 4. Porta Santo Spirito also held at 9, first with a clear 5 from Gian Maria Scortecci, then Elia Cicerchia. His shot had everyone thinking it was a 5, but the Araldo announced a 4. It was Saverio Montini, with his second career shot, who sealed Porta Sant'Andrea's 10 points. The green-and-white crowd exploded with joy. With this shot, the 40th, Porta Sant'Andrea surpassed Crucifera and was just one shot behind Porta Santo Spirito.
