Palio di Siena

A popular event that takes place twice every year in Siena, on 2nd July and 16th August (Palio dell'Assunta). The contrade or districts of the city fight for the palio, a banner, in a cut-throat race on horseback around the medieval Piazza del Campo. It has deep historical roots but is still passionately followed by the Sienese and is a huge attraction for tourists from all over the world. There is a spectacular historical procession in brightly coloured Renaissance costumes before the race.

Premio Strega

Set up in 1947 and sponsored by a rich liqueur manufacturer (the producer of the liqueur “Strega”), this is the best-known Italian literary prize. Among its winners are Eduardo De Filippo, Pier Paolo Pasolini and Umberto Eco. It is awarded each year, on the first Thursday in July, after selected literature lovers cast their vote in the 16th century Ninfeo (an internal garden with a monumental fountain) in Villa Giulia, in Rome.

Lotto

The lottery appeared in Italy in Genoa in the 16th century, and spread to the different Italian states in the course of the following century. It has been controlled directly by the State since the 18th century, with weekly draws on Saturdays in 10 cities (ruote or lottery drums) since 1871. Over the centuries the practice of interpreting dreams in order to select lottery numbers has become popular and this mixture of mysticism and cabalism is encapsulated in the book Smorfia (from the name of Morpheus). The old game still shows huge potential for further development, such as the recent, very popular Superenalotto.

Camorra

Widespread in Naples and Campania, this is not a single criminal organization, but a collection of groups (families) which often fight each other for control of criminal activities. It goes back to the 16th century and has practised extortion for centuries, blackmailing small businesses in Naples. After World War II, and above all in the 1980s, it began to control drug dealing and arms trafficking, prostitution and the allocation of public contracts, developing links with politicians and gaining ever-increasing control over the Naples area.
