Falconry in Tuscany.
Falconry is an ancient art, over 4,000 years old. Knowledge of falconry was brought to Europe by the Holy Roman Emperor Frederick II, and hunting with birds of prey became a privilege of the nobility. Falcons were highly prized and often presented as a pledge of peace – they were exchanged between Christians and Saracens during the Crusades. Today, falconry is once again very popular.
In 2016, UNESCO included falconry in the list of Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity.
