The original challenge between the eight Contradas (divisions) of
Montepulciano who compete for a painted cloth banner by rolling barrels
which weigh 80 kilos in an uphill race lasting around 1800 metres along

"spingitori" whilst the course of the race winds through the
streets of the townis historical centre until it reaches the churchyard of
the Duomo in Piazza Grande.
The word "Bravìo" derives from the Vernacular language

Saint of the town San Giovanni Decollato, in honour of whom the Bravìo
delle Botti takes place.
