The Bolognese besiege Modena. As a show of affront to the besieged, they catapult a donkey with silver hooves inside the walls. The offended Modenese storm outside the walls and smash the catapult to pieces. In 1324, they exacted even more “atrocious” revenge on the Bolognese, stealing their famous bucket, still in Modena, safe in the Ghirlandina.
