Battle of Anghiari

The Battle of Anghiari was an engagement fought on June 29, 1440 between the forces of the city of Milan, and the city of Florence.

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.
