"PALIO DAY" IN SIENA

It is a recreation about an old renacentist party.basically there is a horse's race preceded by a long procession where every "logia"shous it's flag, it's horses it's own dresses; there are nine groups of them: Civetta, Torres, Giraffa, Onda, Lupa, Chiocciola, Istrice, Valdimonte and Leocorno.Normaly the ceremony starts at 5:00 pm o'clock with the procession. We arrived to Siena at 12:00 am. The first problem was parking the car, the city was completely full of turists. Fortunatelly we get a place in "San Francesco" park.After eating something. We went to "piazza del campo" were we arrived at 2:00 o'clock it was really hot. We waited for three hours the procession and then 2 more hours for the races tobegin. By the way La Torre tresuming too hard but it is worth.
