Palio

The Borgo Old Town Piazza Palio Duomo

The Palio, named for the prize banner or "Palio" that the winning rider takes, is held twice a year, on July 2nd and August 16th, so we weren't able to participate, but I've gathered a few images and links here from various sources to give you an idea of the pageant.

I like the Elephant with the Tower on his back.

If you've got a good internet connection and can wait for a generous "wmv" file to load, run your mouse over this window when it turns black to watch a video of the event.
