Stay in ItalyHave you ever seen Palio in Siena?
The Palio is an historical secular tradition closely connected with the origin of the “Contrade” of Siena (districts into which the town is divided): ten horses and riders represent ten of the seventeen “Contrade” in a spectacular horse race around Piazza del Campo, which attracts visitors and spectators from around the world.
If you stay in Italy you'll discover it!
Every year in July and August, the detonation of an explosive charge echoes across the piazza, signaling to the thousands of onlookers that the race is about to begin. The race is preceded by a spectacular pageant, the “Corteo Storico“, which includes (among many others) Alfieri and flag-wavers in medieval costumes and the horses have to run three laps around the square.
