| The '''Battle of Anghiari''' was a conflict fought on 29 June 1440 between the forces of the cities of [[Milan]] and [[Florence]]. [[Cardinals|Cardinal]] Ludovico Trevisan commanded the Florentine force, but the ''[[Mercenaries|condottiero]]'' {{Wiki|Micheletto Attendolo}} led them in battle. | |
| | |
| In comparison, the Milanese greatly outnumbered their Florentine opponent, and even added an additional 2,000 soldiers from a neighboring town, {{Wiki|Sansepolcro}}, leading them to enter into battle with much superior numbers.
| |
| | |
| However, the Florentine force led by 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.
