The end of the rivalry with Bruco:
Bruco and Giraffa were rivals, for border issues, until 1996, the year in which the Contrada of via del Comune was finally able to defeat after 41 years of fasting. After the formal formalization carried out by the leaders, small minority populations of both Contrade still continue to look at each other with a certain resentment, but it is undeniable that the rapprochement has brought advantages for both wards.
