Press

Florence: Lucca burns its bridges, its cornfields, its cattle and its women, and reatreats to a beefless, babe-less boy's own party in a cold, damp dungeon beneath the city in order to play cards in the dark and tell stories about what we'd do to the Milanese if only we had more men, money and military finesse.

Siennese forces, meanwhile, order Pizza in Pisa, and wish they had some beer as well.
