The Battle of Anghiari was a battle fought on June 29, 1440 between the forces of the city of Milan, and the city of Florence. Cardinal Ludovico Trevisan commanded the Florentine force, but Micheletto Attendolo lead them in battle.
The Milanese greatly outnumbered their Florentine opponent and even added an additional 2,000 soldiers from a neighboring town, Sansepolcro and went into battle with much superior numbers.
However, the Florentine force, led by the condottiero Micheletto Attendolo, achieved a crucial victory, thanks in part to the actions of a young Mario Auditore, who had alerted Attendolo to a large dust cloud forming on the main road; the sign of an attempted surprise attack by Milanese forces.
