The Medieval Race of the Ring




The Corsa all'anello in Narni, in the region Umbria (Central Italy), is part of the celebrations held the last week of April.














During this medieval jousting competition, three horsemen try to snare rings.  Jousting is a martial  game or hastilude between two horsemen and using lances, often as part of a tournament. 



The primary aim is to strike the opponent with the lance while riding towards him at high speed, if possible breaking the lance on the opponent's shield or armour, or unhorsing him
