Descriere magazin:
A maddening, twice-annual horse race held in Siena\'s public square, the Palio is less a sport than it is a game--one that involves a combination of bare-back riding skills, human deal-making, and a large dose of fate. The 90-second race and the rituals that surround it have continued largely uninterrupted since the 1500s, serving as the primary source of identity for the city\'s 17 neighborhoods, or contrade . The Palio can therefore confuse short-term visitors who see little more than an afternoon of pageantry followed by three laps of ferocious racing. Living the Palio thus provides a freshly upbeat and accessible introduction to Siena\'s centuries-old festival, along with the intriguing cultural traditions that underlie it. Join Thomas Paradis on an amusing, instructional romp as he weaves witty stories of personal discovery with a peak into Siena\'s little-known customs.
