Giampaolo di Ceri
( Giampolo dell' Anguillara o Giampaolo Orsini)
Sellano's castle destruction and Battle of Gavinana
With him, Giampaolo di Ceri arrived to Spoleto in July 1522 with 200 cavaliers and one company of Corsicans.
Frequently the young Giampaolo di Ceri followed his father when he left for the war.
On August 6th,1522 , Renzo di Ceri, the commander in chief of 7000 soldiers ( and his son) left from Spoleto marching in the direction of the rebellious castles: Campello, Pissignano, Acera, Spina,Agliano,Postignano, Camero,Orsano and Sellano.
Sellano's castle after the surrender was destroyed and set on fire.
Giampaolo di Ceri, 8 years after (1530) was the aide-de-camp of Francesco Ferrucci and in the battle of Gavinana was at the rear of the florentine troops. Giampaolo di Ceri and Francesco Ferrucci were captured together but Francesco Ferrucci was killed by Maramaldo while Giampaolo di Ceri, as soldier of fortune, was ransomed.
The Battle of Gavinana
(from the Regione Toscana web site )
Surrounded and unable to make use of his artillery, the Florentine commander was forced to play his last desperate card in order to squelch the efforts of his adversaries. During the battle of August 3, soldiers participated in full body combat in the surrounding forests. The Prince of Orange himself was killed. Victory seemed guaranteed for the Florentines, yet the tide turned and only a handful of brave men were then left to fight. Fanfulla da Lodi (one of the thirteen knights of the challenge of Barletta) participated in the skirmish. Ferrucci tried to pull together his last defenses. Covered with wounds, but not yet done in, Francesco Ferrucci was executed in the village square. It is estimated that nearly 10,000 men died during this battle, which became a highly appreciated point of reference during the Resurgence for its patriotic value.
