CARROCCIO; a See also:war See also:chariot See also:drawn by oxen, used by the See also:medieval republics of See also:Italy. It was a rectangular See also:platform on which' the See also:standard of the See also:city and an See also:altar were erected; priests held services on the altar before the See also:battle, and the trumpeters beside them encouraged the fighters to the fray. In battle the carroccio was surrounded by the bravest warriors in the See also:army and it served both as a rallying-point and es the See also:palladium of the city's See also:honour; its See also:capture by the enemy was regarded as an irretrievable'defeat and humiliation. It was first employed by the Milanese in 1038, and played a great See also:part in the See also:wars of the Lombard' See also:league against the See also:emperor See also:Frederick See also:Barbarossa. It was afterwards adopted by other Cities, and first appears on .a
Florentine battlefield in 1228. The Florentine carroccio was usually followed by a smaller See also:car bearing the martinella, a See also:- BELL

bell to See also:ring out military signals. When war was regarded as likely the martinella was attached to the See also:door of the church of See also:Santa Maria in the Mercato Nuovo in See also:Florence and See also:rung to warn both citizens and enemies. In times of See also:peace the carroccio was in the keeping of some great family which had distinguished itself by See also:signal services to the See also:republic.
Accounts of the carroccio will be found in most histories of the See also:Italian republics; see for instance, M. See also:Villani's Chronache, vi. 5 (Florence, 1825–1826) ; P.
