'Here on the Arno the Pisan people in mock agon to guerrear del Ponte. E se in gioconda pugna ha l'armi pronte, ha già in campo ostil guerriera mente.' This is how the dedication describes the annual event of the Gioco del Ponte in Pisa, a historical tradition that sees the participants ; divided into two factions, Tramontana and Mezzogiorno challenge each other in a violent contest of strength on the Ponte di Mezzo with no holds barred.
