Variety of dried, salted or smoked pork, Italy

The type of dried, salted or smoked pork shown here, seems to be the most popular along the countries that border the Mediteranian, or at least we have found them very popular in Portugal, France, Spain, Italy and Greece...
What I did want to suggest is that if you have the chance, take a sampling of several types and get some bread and a bottle of wine for a picnic. The meats are DELICIOUS.

The Saracen Joust is the town's equivelent to a medieval festival. Town's people dress up in medieval costumes while knights joust and race around the piazza's and town. The knights wear colors and symbols representing different areas of Arezzo. The custom of the joust began in the 17th century and continues to this day.
