WINNERS – Palio di Siena Horserace

First held in 1656, The Palio di Siena, otherwise known as "Il Palio", is one of the oldest and most famous horse races in the world held twice a year on July 2 and August 16. Each race is a battle between ten of Siena’s 17 contrade (neighborhoods) who battle it out on the town circle “Piazza del Campo”. Lasting only 90 seconds, Il Palio is famous for its intense rivalry to see who will reign supreme and bring home the prize, the coveted Drappellone.
