It is an historical event dating back to the 1466, when the Magistrate of Osimo, after some fights between Osimo and Filottrano, now both in Ancona district, that created problems in the relation between the two villages, decided to send a punitive expedition.
Some Filottrano nobles were imprisoned and caught. While escaping from a raid, a man from Osimano left one boot there. The fact was taken as a victory in Filottrano.
Except for the 1468, every year a puppet with a boot is created as a joke. At the end, it is burned between jeers and jokes.
