Today we will talk about a special edition of Sartiglia in honour of the royal wedding between Philip V and Maria Luisa of Savoy, a marriage born as a pledge of the alliance between Louis XIV of France (the Sun King) and Victor Amadeus II of Savoy.
On the 2nd of November 1701 Maria Luisa of Savoy was twelve years old and married King Philip V of Spain, who was seventeen at the time.
The wedding ceremony took place in the chapel of the Holy Shroud in Turin. The following year, the celebrations took place in the city of Oristano.
