What if Bologna got their bucket back?

The title may sound weird, but there was a war, over a wooden bucket. The story goes that in 1325, soldiers from Modena took a wooden bucket from Bologna, in which the Bolognese responded with war. Bologna sent an army of 32,000 soldiers, whilst Modena sent only 7,000. At Zappolino, the Bolognese army was annihilated by the Modenesi, and Modena kept their bucket. But what if, it was the opposite, and the Bolognese won the battle, and got their bucket back, how would relations be with the two cities? Share your thoughts.

Well in reality the bucket is 'alleged' just a trophy for the mentioned battle that was part of the long war between guelfi and ghibellini.
From there an humorous play was created with the fictional battle between Modena and Bologna who mix real people and facts with fictionals and the bucket become a 'challenge' between the young men of the two university...basically is all a made up story for laugh and make some prank between freshmen.
