The story
MVSEVM EVROPA INVICTA presents: La Secchia Rapita. “The war of the bucket.” Zappolino · 1325. The bucket is still in Modena. Please stop asking.
In 1325 the rival Italian cities of Modena and Bologna met in battle at Zappolino, and Modena won. As the story goes, the Modenese soldiers chased the Bolognese back to their city walls and carried off a trophy: an oak bucket from a well. The fight has been called the War of the Bucket ever since.
Modena still has the bucket, and the poet Alessandro Tassoni made the whole affair the subject of a comic epic, La secchia rapita, the stolen bucket. The exhibited artwork shows the bucket set up like a holy relic under a stone arch, surrounded by swords, for anyone who has ever fought far too hard over something small.
