Sarteano is a small town in the Tuscany region of Italy. Summers are particularly lively in Italy as towns hold a variety of celebrations, concerts and festivals characteristic of their region. In Sarteano, these festivities culminate in the Saracino, a sort of jousting match where representatives of the various neighbourhoods (contrade) compete against one another. Sarteano, l’estate provides a sonic portrait of Sarteano during this festive period.
