What Canelli is

Canelli is a Town in north-west Italy. In this town they "reproduct" a siege that really happened in the 17th century. Durig that siege the city government introduced the use of the "tiletto", a sort of passport needed to get into the city. When police fund someone without the tiletto the putted him/her in the stocks and tickled the feet. In the modern reproduction they do the same but it seems that only girls are found without their tiletto...that's good for us!
(sorry for my not-really-good english!)
