Davide Berrettini - Catalaunian Fields

I have always been fascinated by history, of any period.

And so I like to close my eyes and imagine the characters with their courage but also their fears and weaknesses, trying above all to capture their ironic side, that joy of living that even a Roman or barbarian soldier surely had even before such a bloody battle.

The Battle of the Catalaunian Fields (or Catalaunian, or Mauritian Fields), also called the Battle of Chalons, took place on 20 June 451 on a plain in Gaul near present-day Châlons-en-Champagne.

In the clash, the troops of the Roman general Aetius, recruited mainly from the barbarians and supported by the Visigoth allies of Theodoric I, prevailed over Attila's Huns.

I imagined that in some ways it could be like a classic ITALY-GERMANY match today in football, and I'm a Nando Martellini welcoming you to this clash not only between two cultures but also between two philosophies of life.

On the left, the Roman army led by General Aetius also includes the Alans of Sangibano and the Visigoths of Theodoric.

while on the barbarian front Attila deploys his Huns alongside the Ostrogoths of Valdamiro…
