notables of Bologna were incarcerated for the next eleven weeks in Modena. Aftermath David Abulafia in The New Cambridge Medieval History asserts, "Ghibelline influence in the region was consolidated by a victory at Zappolino". However, peace agreements in the following January returned Monteveglio and the other castles to Bologna, a return locally to status quo ante, which was probably paid for privately as ransom with a coin in the hands of Passerino Bonacolsi. At Bologna, the coat of arms of Pope John XXII was displayed in conjunction with those of Robert d'Anjou, showing that the old alliance of the Avignon papacy and the house of Anjou was still viable in some eyes. The battle is also famous for the wooden bucket that the Modenese took as spoils from the Bolognesi. Though it is not mentioned by Griffoni, the unusual booty was venerated in Modena in remembrance of the victory. The history of the bucket was told in Alessandro Tassoni's satirical poem La secchia rapita (1614–15, published in Paris, 1622). It was still seen in the basement of the Torre della Ghirlandina in 1911.
