il Palio di Siena

The Palio is a horse race that is run in a number of Italian cities. The best known is the Palio di Siena . This race dates back to the 13th century and is run twice a year, on July 2 and August 16 in the Piazza del Campo in Siena. Ten of the city's seventeen contrade (districts) take part; the winner is the first horse to pass the winning post, whether it still has a rider or not. Before the race there is a procession with members of the various districts dressed in historical costumes.
