In 14th-century Italy, two powerful city-states went to war in a conflict that history remembers for one unforgettable detail: a wooden bucket.
Legend says the war began because a rival city stole a bucket from a public well.
The truth reveals much more about medieval politics, honor, and duty.
This video explores the real history of the War of the Bucket, fought between Bologna and Modena during the long rivalry between the Guelphs and Ghibellines. We break down the political tensions, border raids, and strategic ambitions that led to open war, culminating in the Battle of Zappolino, where a smaller, professional Modenese force defeated a much larger Bolognese army through terrain, discipline, and strategy.
The bucket itself became a lasting symbol of pride, and it remains preserved in Modena to this day.
This is the true story behind one of medieval Italy’s most misunderstood conflicts.
