HISTORY OF THE CONTRADA DELLA TARTUCA
The Contrada della Tartuca was founded in the 16th century, in the historic area of Castelvecchio. It seems to have officially originated from the union of two Military Companies: that of Porta all'Arco and that of Saint Agatha. The original colors were yellow and black.
Over the centuries, the Contrada has consolidated its identity, culminating in the creation of the church now known as Oratory of Saint Anthony of Padua, dedicated to the patron saint of the contrada.
