Practicing for the Palio
While wandering through Siena recently I came across one of the contrada (districts) practicing for the Palio parade. The Palio is held twice a year, in July and August, and features a horse race around the main square of Siena. Each of the districts fields a horse, competing for the honor of winning the Palio, a banner.
