     I just discovered that Italy is the only country to have fought a war over a BUCKET.
     On the 15th of November, in the year of our Lord 1325, a single battle took place between the cities of Modena and Bologna at the foot of castle Zappolino, over 35.000 infantry and 5000 knights were involved, and despite the balance of power being on Bologna's side, Modena's more experienced (and strategically placed) soldiers encircled the Bolognese troops, slaughtered them like sheep, and then they took a BUCKET from one of their wells as a WAR TROPHY after their Heroic victory, and said bucket can be seen today at Modena.
     The battle was so ridiculously legendary it inspired the poet Alessandro Tassoni to write a poem called "La secchia rapita" (the kidnapped bucket) about the battle.
     You'd think they would ransack the city right after that victory but apparently NO, they were so satisfied kicking the asses of their sworn political rivals, that they just went ahead and did the pettiest thing possible just to piss them off further.
