To celebrate this event, the founders decided to organise a series of entertainments every year in addition to the liturgical celebrations. <\/p>\n<p>The most outstanding of these is <strong>the Flight of the Donkey<\/strong>, perhaps the festival with the deepest roots in Empoli&#8217;s historical memory. On the day of Corpus Christi, a poor donkey (called a Ciuco in Tuscan dialect) was carried up the bell tower of the Collegiate Church, suspended from a pulley on a rope, and \u201cflown\u201d over the heads of the citizens gathered in Piazza Farinata degli Uberti, until it crashed into one of the columns of the loggia of Palazzo Ghibellino. Depending on how the flight went, predictions and forecasts were made regarding the fate of the field crops.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-50 elementor-top-column elementor-element

which has no historical basis, the flight of the donkey in Empoli began in 1397 as <strong>a slap in the face against the forces of San Miniato<\/strong>, after their failed rebellion against the Florentines; the people of Empoli, and particularly the commander Cantino Cantini, had made a considerable contribution to this failed enterprise. <span style=\"letter-spacing: 0.1px; word-spacing:
